How do I pay for my lunch?

Each child has a lunch account at school.  Your parents can send $$ to 
school and it will be applied to your lunch account.  Each time you eat in 
the Cafeteria, the money will be deducted from your account.  When the 
money in your lunch account runs out, your parents will be sent a note so 
they can send more money to fund your account.  

Some families send in lunch money at the beginning of the month. Others send 
it in at the beginning of each week.  Some prefer to send in a larger 
amount, like say, $50.  You family can decide which way works best for you.

Do I have to eat in the Cafeteria every day?

No, you can choose the days you wish to eat in the Cafeteria.  A monthly 
menu is sent home to help you plan. There is also a menu posted on this 
website. A lunch count is taken at the beginning of each day so you can 
decide which days you want to bring your lunch and which days you want to 
eat the Cafeteria lunch.  Most children eat the lunch provided in the 
Cafeteria.

Can I send treats for my birthday?

Yes you can.  Some ideas are:  cupcakes, donuts, cookies, etc.  We have 21 
students in the class plus one teacher and one teacher's aide.  If your 
birthday falls on a school day you can send the treats that day.  If it 
falls on the weekend, let your teacher know which day you will be sending 
treats.  Treats should be at school before 10:00 so that they can be eaten 
during the morning recess.
