SAVE THE DATES:
FROM THE STUDENT NUTRITION MANAGER
Parents/Guardians
The CMS Student Nutrition Department would like to encourage parents to maintain a positive balance on your student(s) meal account. Each household receives bi-weekly balance notifications via email. As we approach the last three months of the school year, we wanted to remind you to check on your student's meal account to ensure that the balance is paid.
Should you have any questions or concerns, you may reach out to me and I will do my best to assist you.
