Transactions for snacks will be cashless, but checks, cash and money orders will be accepted in a sealed envelope clearly labeled with your child's name, and should be handed to a Food Service team member at the breakfast station, or school office.

Activity Bus Information
Anyone needing to ride the activity bus must have the parent permission form completed (This School Year) and must sign up by 11:00AM the day that a ride is needed.
In order for students to ride the after school activity shuttle, they must have the parent permission form completed for each school year and must be enrolled in a current after school sport/activity. The activity bus will travel between the L. B. Morris School , Jim Thorpe Area High School, and Penn Kidder Campus with only one stop at the Penn Forest Firehouse on Rt. 903. The buses will depart the Jim Thorpe Area High School at 4:15PM and 6:10PM.
The 4:15 and 6:10 bus will run Monday through Thursday only. The student will be responsible to sign up daily for the activity bus if a ride is needed that day. This can be done online on the day needed until 11:00AM. If a student signs up late or is not on the list, transportation will be denied.
The activity bus will start the first day of school.
