Pick-Up Procedures
Keeping your pick-up number visible helps our line move smoothly!
Please hang it from your visor or on the window, not just on the dash.

Please remember that students should not be dropped off at the main office doors before 8:00 AM.
If arriving between 7:30–8:00 AM, use the lunchroom doors instead.

Doors are not unlocked or open until 7:30. You may see a few students being dropped of before that and they are district employee students.

Lunch Reminder

A couple of reminders for all families:

If your child brings cold lunch to school, please avoid sending soda, coffee, or energy drinks in the lunch. Per the Elementary Handbook....

Drinks

Drinks such as Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Rock Star, Monster, Red Bull drinks or coffee drinks are not allowed. These will be put aside and parents called to pick them up if they have not been opened. If they are opened they will be discarded and another drink option will be offered. Red Bull and other drinks can contain about 13 teaspoons of sugar and/or caffeine of 2 cups of coffee. Children get a brief high followed by a low that is not supportive of learning.

Also, If your child brings a cold lunch, please be sure to pack any needed condiments and silverware with it. Our lunch program only includes the cost of condiments and silverware for students that purchase a lunch.

Thank you for your continued support!

Harvest Luncheon – Thursday, November 6th

We’re excited to welcome families to our annual Harvest Luncheon!

When you arrive, please enter through the front office doors, check in, and then head to the lunchroom. Your student will meet you there in the cafeteria waiting lobby, and together you can gather your food and enjoy lunch in the gym.

If you have multiple students or siblings attending, we will call all of them down to meet you in the cafeteria waiting area so your family can eat together.

💵 Guest Meals: Cash or check payment only, please.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

If you are participating in the Thankful and Grateful Chili Luncheon next week, please be aware that students will be charged as usual, however, you will not be allowed to charge meals to your student account.

We will not have the ability to look up the status of the students to see if they are paid, free, or reduced. Because of this, we cannot charge full meal prices to accounts that may belong to students who qualify for free or reduced meals.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we ensure compliance with USDA meal program regulations.

Thank you for supporting our school nutrition program!
