About me

Hi! Welcome to Kindergarten!
 
My name is Karlee Brennan and this will be my fourth year teaching at Athlos Leadership Academy! I graduated from Minnesota State University- Mankato with my bachelors degree in Elementary Education along with a STEM certificate. I am also currently pursuing my masters in curriculum and instruction from St. Mary's! When I am not teaching I enjoy spending time with my black lab, Ellie, being with family and friends, and being outdoors. I look forward to partnering with all of you this school year! Please contact me with any questions or concerns!
Looking forward to a great school year ahead!
-Karlee Brennan

Athlos Families,

The United States Department of Agriculture is allowing schools to provide meals for the 2021-2022 school year through a provision of the National School Lunch Program called the Seamless Summer Option (SSO). A waiver has been issued in order to support access to nutritious meals while minimizing potential exposure to COVID-19. Our school has chosen to use this waiver and operate the SSO which enables us to provide meals free of charge for all students. No application is required to receive this free meal benefit.

However, your child(ren) may qualify for additional benefits such as reduced fees or the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) which is a federal temporary emergency nutrition benefit that is loaded onto electronic cards for families to purchase food. At public schools, your application also helps the school qualify for education funds and discounts. 

 

How to Submit a Meal Application:

#1 - Recommended: Complete the application through your Parent Portal Account by clicking here.

     * Visit the School Meals page on the website or click here for instructions on completing the application via the Parent Portal.

     * Have an account and need login support? Click on the support links on the login screen.

     * Still need assistance? Email [email protected] and someone will be happy to assist you.

     * Families that are new to Athlos Leadership Academy; instructions and account activation codes will be emailed in the coming weeks.

 

#2 - Download and print the application PDF by clicking here.

 

#3 - Pick up a copy from the school office or black drop box located at the front of the school building.
