3) Review the school lunch menus and submit a Meal Accommodations Form annually if your child has a food allergy

TK-K Lunch Info (Click for more Details)
The optional lunch after dismissal for TK/K is by parent supervision only.
All parents/guardians will pick up their child at dismissal from the classroom.
If lunch is required, parents/guardians will check in at the office with the front desk, sign into Raptor as a visitor, and walk their child to the cafeteria to get their lunch.
Each child has a pin number that they will use to get their lunch. Parents/guardians will need to sign out at the front office after they escort their child to/from the lunch area.
Parents of TK/K students who are picked up by a daycare center AND who need a school lunch will need to contact the daycare to set up a plan for the daycare staff to get the school lunches from the cafeteria.
