Students may bring labeled water bottles, but they must contain only water—otherwise, a clear bottle will be required. Classroom teachers will share snack guidelines, but all snacks must be healthy (no chips, candy, or sugary treats). Gum is not allowed unless approved by staff. Breakfast is served daily starting at 7:30 AM, and students have a 25-minute lunch period. School provides balanced meals daily (except early release days), or students may bring simple, nutritious lunches from home—no food sharing or carbonated drinks. Meals and milk are charged to your child’s food service account; low balance notices will be sent home and by email. Free and reduced-price meals are available for those who qualify—applications are available at the school office or online at https://schoolmealsapp.ksde.org/Home/welcome/D0364. Meal prices: $3.10 for lunch (K–6) and $1.95 for breakfast.

SALAD options are coming back in APRIL!!!! We love providing our students options when it comes to healthy and nutritious foods. We always offer salad, fruits, and veggies daily, but the salad option will be returning!
