FEBRUARY MENUS
Starting in April, all RSU 5 school cafeterias will offer lower-added-sugar chocolate milk during lunch periods. This chocolate milk contains only 6g of added sugar per 8 oz serving, compared to the previous option which contained 14g of added sugar per 8 oz serving.
Milk consumption across the district has been at an alarmingly low rate. K-12 students should drink milk regularly as it is an effective way to consume adequate protein, vitamin D, and calcium. We hope that offering flavored milk again will encourage students to drink more milk and thus receive the nutritional benefits.
Please reach out to me with any questions.

Student Information
Student Information
Students check your emails during BCS!
The office or your parents may send you alerts for changes in plans.
The school day ends at 2:20. Make sure to have a "backup" plan (especially if clubs/practices/games are cancelled). All kids need to know if they are walking home, getting picked up, or riding a bus (FMS does not need to know the plan). They can have different plans on different days without letting us know, just make sure your child knows.
