Cafeteria

The Cafeteria is open for lunch each full day of school. No lunch is served on 12:30 dismissal days. Menus are sent home monthly, and are also accessible here on the website.

The cafeteria has a full hot lunch available on a daily basis, consisting of an entree, side dish (either a vegetable or potato), dessert and drink. A fresh salad bar and hot soup is also available daily. Usually, there are extra items available such as chips, nachos & cheese, pastries, and more. Beverages include chocolate and white milk, apple juice, and water. Ice cream is also available daily.

Children may pack their lunches, however no microwave is available for heating foods.

Parents are welcome to have lunch with their children, however, we need to ask you to please send in a note to the attention of the cafeteria and let us know what you will be getting for lunch so we may plan accordingly.

Green School Goal - Reduce Lunchroom Trash
We have invested in new cafeteria trays to reduce the amount of paper we send to landfills. Families are again strongly encouraged to pack with reusable containers rather than plastic or paper wraps. Lower grade parents did a particularly good job last year on this point. Keep up the effort!

Pre Pay/Charging for Lunch
We will continue the system begun last year: Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, first and second grade prepay lunch on a weekly basis. Teachers send notices home on Friday and orders are due Monday with payment. All other students pay on a daily basis.

Charging lunch is permitted in exceptional cases only, and never for ice cream or snacks. In an emergency a child may charge for the main dish and milk. A second charge is not permitted until the first charge has been paid.

Purchasing Extras
Students are not permitted to purchase extras/snacks until they have eaten an entrée either purchased from school or brought from home.
