HOT LUNCHES

Window to order lunches, via orderlunches.com website, is September 12th - September 26th. Payment can be made by sending cash or check to the office no later than September 28th.

One common mistake being made is forgetting to complete the check out process. If you do not end the process with an "Order Confirmation" screen, then you still have items in your shopping cart. I cannot see any order on my side until you have completely checked out.

If a student is going to be tardy, please call the office at 208-455-9220 by 8:30 a.m. If we have not heard from you by then, we will assume the child is going to be absent and will cancel their lunch.

If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Knapp at 208-455-9220 or by email sheree.knapp@visioncsd.org.
