Breakfast and Lunch Visitors!

Parents,

Our students love to have visitors at lunch (and breakfast). In order for us to ensure a positive experience for everyone, please make sure to follow these procedures...

Visitors should be listed as an emergency contact in your child's PowerSchool record or you should notify the school of someone coming to eat lunch with your child via note, phone call, or email to Jessica Todd, at the front desk. We want to make sure all lunch visitors are authorized to be here by you, the parents.
We ask that you not bring in outside food and support our school cafeteria. They function independent from the school and are supported through sales in the cafeteria.
Make sure you allow time to check in through Circool before entering the school. Please wear your visitor badge the whole time you are in the building.
We encourage parents to eat with their child, only, and spend time talking with your child rather than spending time on a screen. This time is precious and there will come a day when eating with you at school is not "cool"!

Congratulations to our 3rd, 4th & 5th Grade Spelling Bee Participants!
