Lunch Delivery Reminder Lunch Delivery Reminder

This is a reminder that students are NOT allowed to use any food delivery services (DoorDash, GrubHub, UberEats, etc.) If a parent would like to drop of any food, they should have a prior discussion with their child so they know to come to the office, during their lunch shift, for pick up. Food drop offs will only be received during the students' lunch time. Our front office staff will NOT deliver food items to students. In addition, students will not be allowed to take food back to class. Thanks for your understanding.
