SCHOOL LUNCH PROGAM

Menus for the school lunch program will be posted monthly on the school website and daily on the electronic board in the high school cafetorium. A lunch count will be taken at the start of each day. Only enough food will be prepared for those who indicate they will be eating the school lunch that day. * Parents need to put money in their family lunch account prior to the student being allowed to eat the hot lunch provided. When the family lunch account has a negative balance, students will be given a free cheese sandwich, yogurt and milk until money is deposited in the family lunch account. Due to State regulations concerning free and reduced meals, there cannot be any trading loaning or borrowing of student’s personal lunch numbers.* Information necessary providing the need to charge for meals for current school year. (2022-2023) A student who brings their own lunch and wants a milk may purchase milk at .25 per carton, this may also be deducted from their lunch account.

Breakfast offered for JR Kindergarten through 6th during regular school year.

*Students must be able to independently prepare their own lunch. Caffeinated beverages/sodas are not allowed in school or lunchroom, with the exception of class parties.


Classroom Food and Drink Policy

Food/snack - Most teachers have a designated snack time in their classrooms. Please look for teacher communication on how they handle snack time in their classroom and be an integral part in helping send a healthy, nutritious snack to help students focus throughout the school day.

 

Drinks - Students will be allowed to have a water bottle in the classroom during the day. Please make sure your child's water bottle has a lid that seals to prevent spills. Students will be allowed to have water in their bottle (no juice, colored flavor packets, or anything that will be sticky or stain surfaces should it spill). Pop, juice, Gatorade, caffeinated beverages, etc. will only be allowed for certain classroom rewards or parties where the teacher informs students and families of such special occasions.

 

Gum - Gum will only be allowed in the classroom if teachers provide it to the students as a reward. The gum should NOT leave the classroom - it must be spit in the trash before leaving the classroom it was provided in.

 


Band Lessons

Lessons are available for interested students from fifth grade and up. These will be arranged after school has begun. The School Board is charging a rental fee for school- owned instruments. The office will notify the band instructor of payment before the student receives the instrument.
