LUNCH NOTES: Please put money in your lunch account or take care of any other office business in the morning before 1st hour. You need to have your lunch ticket when you go through the lunch line, if not, you need to be at the end of the line and you are not to take extras or a la carte. This rule is for everyone to follow. Keep your lunch account balance current. If you have a negative lunch balance you are not to take any ala carte items, including extra portions. This is for breakfast and lunch. If you don't know your balance, check with Vickie Snitker/Erin Thornton when you go through the line.
Due to the Federal Government's Healthy Kids Act, students need to take the items listed on the breakfast menu OR an egg sandwich and juice or fruit, to be counted as the reimbursable (free & reduced) breakfast. If in doubt, ask the cooks or check the dry erase boards located at the beginning of the line every morning.
