Briarmeadow Charter School PTO

Back-to-school season is the perfect time to stock up on essentials—and support Briarmeadow Charter School at the same time! 🍎📚💙

As you shop for school supplies, labels, books, gifts, and more, don’t forget to use our year-round community giving programs. Every purchase through Mabel’s Labels, Kroger Community Rewards, Scholastic, OfficeMax/Office Depot, and Minted helps give back to our school at no extra cost to you. Learn more at “https://briarmeadowpto.membershiptoolkit.com/affinityprograms

It’s an easy way to make everyday shopping go a little further for our students, teachers, and campus. Thank you for supporting Briarmeadow all year long! 💙✨

Families, beginning this year, Briarmeadow and more than 30 additional HISD schools will no longer participate in the free lunch program as part of the federal Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

Students attending Briarmeadow must have an approved Meal Benefits Application on file to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch benefits. Breakfast is free for all HISD students, regardless of meal eligibility. Families may submit a Meal Benefits Application through SchoolCafé.

All students who plan to use the lunch served by the school need to create an account in SchoolCafe, where you can allot funds to your student to purchase daily meals.

Additionally, HISD encourages all families to complete an application, even if they are unsure whether they qualify. Read more about completing a Meal Benefits Application here: https://www.houstonisd.org/families-students/nutrition-services/student-meals-overview

PLEASE NOTE: To create a SchoolCafe account, you will need your student’s HISD Student ID. If your student or you do not know the Student ID please find the School Services tables at Meet the Teacher Night this Friday. August 7. New families may arrive for Meet the Teacher at 3:30 pm. Returning families are invited to join at 4:30 pm.
