LUNCH: “No Charging” policy started May 1
Your child needs to have money in their lunch account or with them in order to eat breakfast and/or lunch through the remainder of the school year. If they do not have money to purchase for that day, they will be given an alternate meal. We always ensure every child has a meal.
Any charges that are on their account now will need to be paid in full by May 1. If you cannot pay your charges, please send lunches with your child. You may monitor and pay your child’s lunch account at Myschoolbucks.com. The cafeteria can only accept cash or checks. If questions, you may call Linda Riggs, cafeteria manager, at 256-6966.
We are here to help!
