Equity & Anti-Racism Corner - Gender Diversity Slides
On February 1st, our PTA's Social Emotional Wellness committee hosted an event with The Family Tree Clinic. This presentation covered information about a number of gender-related topics that are connected with parenting.
Food Service Updates
Starting after spring break, our kitchen will transition from "pre-pack" kitchen to a "cook on-site" kitchen. This means that Ms. Ann, Ms. Toni, & Mr. Marco will be dishing the warm foods up for our students. The salad bar will stay the same. We are excited for less waste and more fresh foods!
Every student receives one complete breakfast meal and one complete lunch meal each school day at no cost. If your student asks for a second meal or to purchase an a la carte item, we allow them to get those, but they are charged for those items. When students go through the lunch line, they enter their PIN whether it’s their first meal which is free, or they are purchasing additional meals or a la carte items. Some of our students do have negative balances at the moment. Even if they have a negative balance, your child will always get a free breakfast and lunch, but we are technically not supposed to allow students to get extra food if their balance is negative. You should get automated emails from the Titan system if your child's account has a negative balance. Click here to create an account, check the balance, or make a payment.
