Cafeteria Information
Breakfast and lunch are served every day that school is in session. Upon arrival, students who wish to purchase breakfast go straight to the cafeteria. At lunch, students remain in the cafeteria for 30 minutes. Students may bring a bag lunch from home or purchase a lunch from the cafeteria.
If buying a lunch, a student may pay cash daily or put money on an account. You may send in check or money or log onto www.myschoolbucks.com to pay for lunches online. Your child can purchase breakfast, lunch, snacks, and ice cream with that account. If you only want your child to purchase lunch, you need to contact the cafeteria or write in the memo line of your check, “lunches only”.
If the need arises, students will be permitted to charge up to three meals. You will receive notification from the cafeteria if a breakfast or lunch is charged.
