***** A LA CARTE *****
In addition to healthy meals and extra milk/juice or entrees, Nutrition Services will offer students the ability to purchase a la carte snacks and beverages at secondary schools during meal times so long as the have a positive balance on their MealTime account. All items sold will be USDA Smart Snack compliant.
If you do not wish your student to be spending their meal account balance on extra snacks or beverages at school, please set that expectation with them. If it is necessary to limit or block ala carte purchasing on your student’s account, just let us know by email or phone call. Just be aware that this will also limit or block their ability to purchase extra entrees or milk/juice.

Immunizations
According to Oregon law, your 7th grade child is required to have one additional vaccine. An official medical or nonmedical exemption is also acceptable. Our records show that your child is in need of the following immunization:
Tdap Vaccine – 1 dose
Tdap is given to adolescents and adults 10-64 years old.
It is different from DTaP, which is given to children younger than 7 years old
Tdap offers adolescents and adults protection against three serious diseases: Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis (whooping cough). Pertussis is a highly contagious, acute bacterial respiratory tract infection caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis.
If your child has not yet had the Tdap vaccine, contact your child’s doctor or call your county health department to make an appointment. It is important to get an early start on updating your child’s immunizations this fall. Please give all updated immunization information to the OMS office as soon as your child receives Tdap.
