Lunch Time Reminders
As students settle into their routines the first few days of school, lunch time traditionally can be a bit hectic, especially for those going through the lunch line. Packing a lunch for your child for the first few days of school will help with longer than normal wait times, and save them from spending extra time in the lunch line. As with other industries across the nation, we are currently running short staffed in our cafeterias, so lunch lines are likely to move slowly as everyone gets used to lunchroom procedures.
Please Join PTA- Online payments open August 1st
