Principal's Message
ELK Family,
Here a couple reminders as we head into spring:
1. Only a student's parent/guardian may bring him/her lunch. This information is found in the BISD High School Student-Parent Handbook on pages 56-57:
OUTSIDE FOOD
Students may bring a home prepared sack lunch or purchase lunch from the cafeteria. Parents/Guardians who wish to bring outside food to their student will be required to prearrange with their student, prior to the start of the school day that the outside food must be retrieved from the office by the student. Lunches not retrieved by the student will not be delivered to the cafeteria by campus staff. Additionally, parents need to deliver lunch no earlier than 10 minutes prior to the time their student goes to lunch. Parents are not allowed, by law, to supply food to any other student but their own.
Thank you for help with this matter!
We hope everyone had a great Spring Break!
Go ELKS!!
