Our hot lunch program is vendor based and is offered daily. Menus will consist of items traditional with a meal program but will not include soft drinks. Hot lunch orders are placed every two weeks through RenWeb. Lunch order form deadlines two weeks prior to the lunch are firm, so if you miss a turn-in deadline, you will need to provide your child with a lunch until the next ordering period. If a child brings their lunch from home, parents are asked to follow several guidelines when packing them. 1. Lunches should be self-contained, and should include plastic eating utensils, straws, etc. 2. No metal pop-top style cans please. 3. Milk and juice can be purchased on-line through the school on a monthly basis. Water is always available from a cooler. 4. If parents bring food in from outside of the school at lunchtime, we ask that you only do so for your child only and no sodas please. There is to be no group sharing (i.e. pizzas, treats, etc.) 5. SODAS are not allowed. 6. Lunches brought to school after 10:30 a.m. need to be brought to the front office and need to have the students’ names on them.
