If you want your child to attend a school other than their zoned school, please submit an open enrollment application.

Applications received by February 1 will receive priority consideration, and we will use the number of applications received by that deadline to help determine staffing at each school. Because school boundaries are changing next year, any student in kindergarten through 6th grade who plans to attend a school other than their zoned school will need to submit an open enrollment application.

With the change in weather and snow now covering the ground, this is a good time to revisit how we decide when to close or delay school. We want families to know what to expect and how we approach these decisions.

Here is a quick, at-a-glance guide to how the process works on winter mornings:

Bonneville School District 93 is celebrating a sweet success in the cafeteria! D93 Child Nutrition was recently honored by the USDA’s Healthy Meals Incentives program with a recognition award for exceptional efforts to enhance the nutritional quality of school meals.

The team was recognized for their creativity and innovation in developing flavorful, from-scratch recipes—most notably Korean pork tacos and roasted chickpeas—that give students healthy, appealing meal options.

According to Child Nutrition Supervisor Heather Plain, Amie Hoffer spearheaded an ambitious revamp of the school lunch menu, adding nearly 30 new items for D93 students. Each new menu item meets the USDA’s rigorous standards for both nutrition and quality.

We couldn’t be prouder of the hard work, creativity, and dedication our Child Nutrition team brings to our schools each day. We’ll take a closer look at this nationally recognized program and the people behind it in next week’s D93 News.
