News From The Kitchen

Accounts- The school year is quickly coming to an end. Please take the time to check your child's lunch account on Power school and bring it up to date. As of May 1st the kitchen will have to start enforcing the 'no charge' policy and this could upset the children if they get denied a hot school lunch because of an unpaid balance. Seniors will not receive their diploma if they have a charge so check your accounts.  If you have any questions, please contact Beth Long
