Food being brought into school will still need to be pre-approved by the teacher and as always we encourage healthy snacks. ALL FOOD MUST BE INDIVIDUALLY PRE-PACKAGED AND CANNOT BE HOMEMADE. Examples can be Rice Krispie treats, Ice pops and Little Debbie cakes. Non food items are preferred.
Lunch Change Notification
Starting on 1/5/2022, we will only be offering one entree for lunch. “We have a new distributor, Food Supply, Inc., beginning January 2022. While we have a new distributor, the supply chain issues continue and are projected to continue for at least the remainder of the school year. Knowing this, we will streamline our menus to offer items that are available. The posted menus for January will offer less choices. It is our intention to expand the menu once manufacturing and inventories at Food Supply can support the effort. “
Please see links below for more information and to apply for free/reduced lunch.
