Cafeteria Reminders
Please send checks for ice cream SEPARATELY from lunch orders because lunch orders are processed separately. Ice cream checks should also include your child's name and teacher's name in the memo section, particularly if you have more than one child at the school. Also, please do not include milk and ice cream on the same check as they are two separate accounts. Aftercare and any other payment not related to lunch should also be sent separately. Thanks for your cooperation.
