1. No Student Lunch Deliveries: Due to various problems and safety issues, we do not allow student lunches to be delivered anywhere on campus. This includes deliveries made by parents, guardians, or external delivery services.

2. No Passing of Food Through the Fence: It is strictly prohibited to pass food, drinks, or any other items to students through the fence surrounding the school premises.
   

3. Prohibition of Outside Food Delivery Services: Services such as UBER Eats, DoorDash, and similar outside food delivery services are strictly prohibited from making deliveries to the school. Any food deliveries dropped off will be confiscated.
   

While we understand the importance of student nutrition, we encourage students to either utilize the free lunch options available at school or bring their lunch from home.

Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is essential for ensuring a safe and efficient learning environment for all.

Students without a 6th-period class must exit campus promptly after their 5th-period class. The designated exit point is the E-F gate.
