Notification Calls for Low Cafeteria Balances
With the implementation of our new calling system, SchoolReach, we now have the ability to notify you with important information relevant to your child/children. Beginning February 2nd, we will be making courtesy phone calls to all parents of students with $5.00 or less in their cafeteria account. We hope you find this new communication helpful.
Here are a few things you should know about these calls:
1. The computer generated calls will be placed every Tuesday and Friday around 6:00 p.m.
2. You will only receive a call IF your child has a current balance of $5.00 or less. (Calls will not be placed to students who qualify for free or reduced lunch unless they have a negative balance on their account.)
3. You will receive a separate phone call for each child that has a low balance.
4. Calls will be placed to the home phone number we have on file for your child.
The message you will receive is as follows:
This is Danville Schools calling to let you know that [your child's name will be inserted here] has a cafeteria account balance of [your child's current cafeteria balance will be inserted here]. Money may be added on-line by clicking the EFunds for Schools link on our website or you can send a check or cash with your child for deposit. To access your child's purchases, log on to Harmony. Please contact Becki Gibbs, Food Services Director, at 317-745-0366 with questions.
Returning for 2011!  Parents and students have the ability to access Harmony Mobile via their smart phones.  Read more...
Emergency Closing: 
Although School Reach will quickly share information with parents, the following television stations will also be notified of a delay or closing for our district:  WRTV, Channel 6; WISH, Channel 8; WTHR, Channel 13; WXIN, Channel 59.  Radio stations Z99.5 and 107.9 will also be notified and will provide delay/closing information to their listeners.
Smoke Signal
The school newsletter, the Smoke Signal will now be sent home each Friday morning electronically via mass email.  You may also view the Smoke Signal on the website by clicking on the Newsletter icon on the left side of this page.  Please let the office know if your email address has changed,  so that you will continue to receive important information from the school.
On-Line Payment Option for Parents:
e~Funds for Schools
is an optional, user-friendly service that offers various options for parents/guardians who choose to make on-line payments for textbooks and cafeteria purchases via a secure website.

Occasionally, situations arise whereby students are required to be absent from school.  On these occasions, the principal/designee may grant a pre-arranged absence if the request is appropriate and submitted 5 school school days before the scheduled absence.  To download a Pre-Arranged Absence form, click here.
