Our water fountains are closed to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We provide bottled water, but it is wasteful. Please fill a reusable container with enough water to last you for the day from home!
ALL STUDENTS EAT FREE THIS YEAR
Due to the pandemic, the federal government is reimbursing schools for meals for all students this year. All students may get one free breakfast and one free lunch each day by providing their student ID number at the register in the cafeteria.
SNACKS WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE - for students that would like to purchase snack items, money can be added to the student account with the "My School Bucks" link.
