Hall Pass
After Labor Day, parents will have the option to sign up to come have lunch with their student. At this time, all visitors will be asked to check in with the office upon arrival at school prior to entering the school. Hall Pass Visitor Management system has been installed in all of our schools to improve overall building safety/security and visitor management. The Hall Pass Visitor Management system will:
Conduct a screening on each visitor using the sex offender registry
Will log in volunteers to track their hours
Will be used to document late arriving students.
Whenever any non-student or non-district employee requests to enter any area of the building where children are accessible, essentially beyond the front office, they will be asked to produce a government issued ID:
State driver’s license
State issued ID
Passport
US Military ID
Permanent resident card
The ID will be scanned and a badge will be given to visitors. This process is key to continuing to maintain and improve a safe and caring environment for our students and staff. A visitor’s badge needs to be worn at all times while visiting the school.
Lunch
Each day, students will have a 25 minute lunch in the Compass Cafeteria. Each morning students will be asked to select from the following:
- Home Lunch
- Salad
- Hot Lunch Choice 1
- Hot Lunch Choice 2
The daily lunch menu can be found on Nutrislice (through our website) and costs for school lunch are as follows:
- Elementary Lunch: $2.60
- Reduced Price Lunch: $0.40
- Extra Milk or Milk by itself: $0.55
Students that bring a home lunch may bring items that contain peanuts or tree nuts. We will have a separate allergy table for each classroom grouping to avoid any issues. If you are sending your child with a home lunch, please help us ensure an efficient and positive experience by double checking that the items included are largely items that your student can open independently.

- Indoor Recess will be held when the temperature or heat index is above 95 degrees Fahrenheit
