Cafeteria Policies
- Students' are not allowed to share food due to federal legislation, allergies, and dietary constraints. This includes bringing in food for celebrations, i.e. birthdays.
- Students' may not order food in through outside meal delivery parties. Only a family member or pre-authorized person may drop off food for a student.
- Microwaves are limited. We strongly recommend that students bring lunches that do not need to be heated up or are in a Thermos-type container. Please refrain from sending items that have to be heated for more than 2 minutes to help alleviate wait times.
- Hot ramen noodle soups are not allowed due to time restraints and increase in burn cases. Fish items are not allowed due to lingering odor. Popcorn is not allowed due to burn risk and possible fire hazard.
Students are not allowed to purchase a la carte items (such as an additional milk) if their account reflects a negative balance or is at $0.

School Breakfast Week 2020
What is National School Breakfast Week?
It’s a week long celebration of the National School Breakfast Program, permanently established in 1975 by an act of Congress. Schools across the country celebrate with special menu items, events and student activities.
Studies show that children who eat school breakfast are more likely to:
- Reach higher levels of achievement in reading and math
- Score higher on standardized tests
- Have better concentration and memory
- Be more alert and maintain a healthy weight
The National School Breakfast Program also serves more than 14 million children every school day—that’s a crowd of cosmic proportions!
