CFIE Mission (Our updated mission):
Reminder - MONDAY, 10/10 - Staff Workday-No School for Students
Please Pay Cafeteria Charges! These Are Not Waived!
Remember this year is not free as it has been in the two previous years! You need to pay unless you qualified for free meals. This qualification can only happen if you completed a meal application and got approval for this status. Also, if you receive approval, that does not cover any expenses made prior to approval, so parents will still be responsible for those. We have a paper copy of the application you can complete that we can send home or even better, complete it online here - Meal Application
If you have not qualified for free meals, you must send students with money for breakfast/ lunch if they are eating in the cafeteria. If you are uncomfortable with sending in money with your child, you can use the convenient online payment option provided by OCS Nutrition Department -
Online meal payments are available at www.k12paymentcenter.com
If you ever receive a letter that your child owes cafeteria fees, please take care of this immediately! Better yet, BE PROACTIVE, and keep your child's account up to date so no letter needs to come home at all! Thank you for your cooperation in this matter!

Hello, Military Community! Sometimes, staying Informed of local events and military resources can be a challenge. That can also be said about deployment resources. Here are some resources if your family will be/are experiencing deployment of a family member. These resources are also on our school website under the Families tab - Military Family News and Resources.
