October Lunch Menu
Deliveries At School
Lunch
Students should know if they are eating hot or cold lunch before leaving home each morning. If a student accidentally leaves their lunch at home, they may eat hot lunch instead and should let their teacher know during lunch count. Students will not be permitted to call home for lunch as this is disruptive. If a parent drops off a forgotten lunch to school, there will be a table outside the office for them to place it on. Parents should email the teacher to alert them to the drop off. The lunches will not be monitored and will not be delivered to students.
Forgotten Homework / Sports Uniforms
Forgotten homework, books, or sports uniforms may be dropped off on the table in front of the office. All items should be labeled with your student’s name. Please email the student’s teacher to alert them to the drop off. Items will not be monitored and will not be delivered to students.
Cash / Cell Phones
Please be sure to give your students their Snack Shack money before they leave for school on Fridays. We are unable to accept any valuables to hold in the office for your students including cash or cell phones. These items may not be left on the table outside of the office.
Deliveries
No flowers, balloons, or special deliveries will be accepted by the office. No phone orders or food delivery orders such as Door Dash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats will be accepted. Students will not be summoned, and deliveries will not be made to classrooms. Students may not meet food delivery drivers during the school day.
Don’t Forget Your Late Pass!
Parents, if your student is late arriving at school for any reason, please bring them to the office for their late pass. If your child is late due to a doctor’s appointment, please bring a note from the doctor’s office to clear their absence.

Watch Your Mail!
Election ballots have arrived in the mail to registered voters. Clovis Unified is encouraging everyone to vote.
When you do, be sure to weigh in on Measure A, the district’s needed facilities bond.
Measure A maintains a stable tax rate and would provide for:
- Safety, energy efficiency and technology upgrades for ALL schools.
- Modernization and repairs to aging schools.
- Completion of our new high school to ease overcrowding.
- Local jobs and local control of funding.
Check out this video that demonstrates some of the safety and energy efficiency projects that are on the Measure A list for every school in the district. To learn more about the bond, see cusd.com/2024Bond.
