Important Cafeteria News! |
 The cafeteria staff of Brookwood Elementary would like to say how much we have enjoyed serving your children this year. Parents will be unable to eat with their students after April 20 due to testing and other school activities. Friday, May 7th will be the last day students will be permitted to charge a breakfast or lunch. All charges should be paid by this date so that the cafeteria staff has time to collect outstanding money and balance accounts. "Money shortages" often occur when students purchase extra items on an a la carte basis. Please take this into consideration as you plan for breakfast and/or lunch money. If your child purchases breakfast and/or lunch regularly, be proactive and put $1.00 for breakfast and/or $1.75 for lunch in your child's book bag in case breakfast and/or lunch money is forgotten, lost, or used for extra items. Work with us and plan ahead to avoid any confusion about breakfast and/or lunch money. Please know that if your child does not have money for breakfast and/or lunch, he/she will not be able to make a breakfast/lunch choice for that day. Instead, he/she will be given a piece of fruit and milk for breakfast and/or peanut butter sandwich (or alternative for peanut allergy) and milk for lunch. We will not let your child "starve!'' However, please note that his/her account will still be charged for their meal. We want the last days of school to be as free of stress for parents and students as possible.
Please call the school cafeteria at 770-736-4360 or 770-436-4363 if you have any questions.
Have a "Nutritious" spring & summer! |
