Shelter Drop Off and Pick Up Zone: Enter the driveway, stop, and proceed to the left, past the visitor parking area and follow the lane with the arrows to proceed to the shelter area on the sidewalk just past the office and flagpole plaza. Please pull forward towards the shelter for your child to exit or enter the vehicle. If the line is backed up, your child may exit or enter anywhere along the curbed area from the flagpole plaza to the shelter, however, if you would please pull farthest forward before this pick up/drop off to ensure space and positive movement for all.
Visitor Parking: Enter the driveway, stop, and proceed left. Please do not conduct student drop off or pick up in this area.

Classroom helpers, art docent, Accelerated Math classroom helper, library assistance, and more! Just let us know if you are interested in volunteering on campus. Fingerprinting must be complete through our District.
All volunteers and field trip chaperones must be cleared through the Livescan process. You will be required to pay fees to complete the process, but once you do this through our District, your prints are valid for as long as you wish to volunteer or work in our District. If you were previously cleared through the Beale ID card system on our green slips, we are sorry, but the recently updated District policy no longer allows clearance through this method. Please refer to the district website. Please call our District office at 633-3130 (ext. 17) for information on the process and for scheduling a time to pick-up forms. We are sorry, but we do not have these forms in the school office.
Students may purchase breakfast and/or lunch with cash or with a prepaid account. Many parents prepay a week, month, or quarter in advance. Wheatland School District offers an On-Line Payment Service called My School Bucks. This program allows parents to check their children's balances and prepay on-line. Please visit the District Website at http://wheatlandsd.com to register for this service. Reduced and free lunches are available to qualifying families. Applications for the Reduced and Free Lunch program are available in the school offices.
We highly encourage and appreciate that every family completes this form, even if you do not anticipate any qualification for reduction in fees. The 100% compliance with families completing the form assists our school with state and federal funding. We do not share your information and we do not review any of the forms at the school level, so your information remains private.
Students who have forgotten their money or whose prepaid accounts have run out, may charge no more than $27.50 or 10 meals. Once the cap has been reached, students will not be allowed to charge and will be offered an "alternate" lunch. Parents will be notified of lunch status using the District All Call System and/or a notice home.
All charges need to be paid in order for students to receive their report cards at the end of the year, or to check out if transferring to another school.
Students may not charge lunches after May 1st.
Lost and Found is located in our multipurpose room. Please come on by and see if any of these items belong to your family. Any items left at the end of the day on November 18, December 16, April 7 and June 8 will be donated to a local community organization.
It is very important that we have the most current information regarding you and your child in case of emergencies. Please remember to contact the office with any changes regarding your current address and phone numbers. If you will be TDY or out of the area and assigning a friend to care for your child, please notify the school to update the emergency card and please consider giving your designee a power of attorney to make school-related and medical decisions for your child.

CLEANING OUT CLOSETS THIS SEASON?
Have clothes that your child has outgrown? The School office is accepting clothing donations of lightly used tops & bottoms, new underwear & socks, etc., so that we may restock our health room for those unexpected accidents that happen.
Team Lone Tree offers an excellent program for students and their families. The Yellow Ribbon Club will support students with deployed parents. Students with a deployed family member are highly encouraged to come notify the classroom teacher and send an email to Alicia Stokes, School Counselor (astokes@wheatland.k12.ca.us). A permission notice will be sent home for the student to join the Yellow Ribbon Club and meet once a month in their grade level lunch bunch. The club will promote camaraderie and allow fellow students and staff to be another level of support for a student. This club is meant as an added enjoyment to the school experience.
