As a reminder, if your child is purchasing just milk (to have with their lunch from home) there is a $0.40 charge. It is only when students buy a full hot lunch that it is free, as per the terms of the “free lunch” grant from the state. This was communicated when we announced the free lunch program earlier in the school year. Extra food items are also an additional charge.
Please check your child’s lunch account balance and submit to the school any money owed. Also, if students will be purchasing just milk going forward, please make sure you fund their account (you can send a check/cash into the school in an envelope with your child’s name on it).
