Students will need to bring a bag lunch each day except on Fridays. On Thursdays, students have the option of bringing lunch or buying pizza. The pizza will be ordered from Papa John's. The cost is $1.25 per slice. Payment is made on Thursday morning; exact change is requested.
Parents are required to send in everything that the child will need to eat his/her lunch, (i.e. napkin, spoon, fork, straw, cup, paper plate). A microwave is available for students to heat their food, if necessary.
If younger students require a mid-morning snack, parents may include a healthy snack in their lunch. Students will be allowed to eat the snack at break time. Parents need to make sure the child knows what he/she is to eat for snack and what is to be left for lunch.

A child with a fever or who shows symptoms of illness is to be kept home until fully recovered. The school is to be notified in the case of communicable disease.
