A La Carte Items in the Cafeteria....
Below is a list of items that students can buy in our cafeteria along with their lunch. We are starting to see students purchase five or six items (especially cookies & chips) at lunch and then not have time to eat all of their food. We ask that students finish eating before going outside, which helps tremendously with trash outside.
If your student's lunch account is rapidly decreasing, you might check with them and put limits around what they are allowed to purchase in the "a la carte line".
