Grade Level Schedules
Parent Lunch Visitors
K-5th Grade Parents will be able to have lunch with their students on Tuesdays, Wednesday & Thursdays.
Lunches will be closed February 6 for STAAR Field Testing &
February 13-15 & 20-22 for Benchmark testing.
Students in PreK will not have lunch visitors as this time is crucial to their social-emotional learning.
Due to the limited ability to deliver lunches during the school day, parent lunch drop off will not be permitted.
**Parents may only provide food for their own child**
Parents are welcome to join their child for lunch during Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday on their birthday week and bring a treat for their child only. Due to Smart Food laws and student dietary restrictions, parents are not allowed to bring treats for additional students. Parents are not permitted to go back to the classroom to deliver birthday treats or items to the teacher. Parents can purchase cafeteria treats for entire class on their child's birthday if they wish.
