Included in our services we provide Breakfast (for LNL Daycare), afternoon snacks (for Extended Care) and offer A la carte items, during lunch, for Sacred Heart Jr./Sr. High students. Food prices have risen about 20%, this increase is reflected in this year's lunch prices. We participate in offering free and reduced lunches. Please consider applying for this program as it helps our school's keep costs down as well as applying for other government programs. Included in this communication are the Free and Reduced lunch applications as well as our policies of late meal charges and non discrimination.

Important Update: New Communication Platform for Salina Catholic Schools Salina Catholic Schools Community, We are excited to announce a new communication platform to better serve our Salina Catholic Schools families. You will receive an email or letter from your child’s school with further details on this update - please read! Note: we are no longer using social media as a method to communicate internally with our families. Download the Salina Catholic Schools app onto your mobile device (Available on the App Store and Google Play Store) and visit the school websites for all communications from LNL, SMGS, and SHJSHS. This new platform will be the primary method for receiving updates and information from our schools. Please help us in our efforts to ensure our Salina Catholic Schools families have the app downloaded on their device! To assist you with any questions or technical issues, our staff will be available during Registration on August 1st. We believe this transition will improve our communication and strengthen our school community. We appreciate your support and cooperation as we implement these changes.

New update!
Dear Parents and Guardians of Love N’ Learn Early Childhood Center, St. Mary’s Grade School and Sacred Heart Jr/Sr High School, I hope this letter finds you well and enjoying a restful summer break. As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I wanted to inform you of an important change regarding our communication methods. Effective immediately, we will use our new mobile app and website as our primary means of communication with families. This will streamline our communication efforts and ensure that all information reaches you in a timely and organized manner. What’s Changing? 1. New Mobile App: Our new Salina Catholic Schools mobile app will serve as our central hub for all school-related communications. This platform will allow us to share announcements, calendars, newsletters, and important updates directly with you. a. You now have the flexibility to customize app notifications based on your preferences. b. To download the mobile app, search Salina Catholic Schools on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. 2. New Campus Wide Site + LNL Site: We have introduced a campus wide site www.salinacatholic.org. Plus, Love N’ Learn now has their own website www.lnlsalina.org. SMGS and SHJSHS websites have been updated and can be found at their original URLs: www.stmarysalina.org and www.shknights.com 3. Social Media: Moving forward, we will utilize social media platforms to market the schools, not for internal communication. Support and Assistance 1. Our staff will be available to assist you with any concerns or technical issues you may encounter during this process at Registration on August 1st. 2. We believe that this transition will enhance our ability to communicate effectively with you and strengthen our school community. 3. Your partnership and cooperation are appreciated as we adapt to these changes. Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child's education through Salina Catholic Schools. Looking forward to a successful school year ahead, Hannah VonLintel - Director of Marketing, Salina Catholic Schools
