"Hot Breakfast" will be back after the Labor Day holiday weekend!! The days have switched to Tuesday and Thursday this year.

Please remember that students MUST have money in their meal account to purchase ala carte items. For example: students who just need a carton of milk for their lunch/breakfast and don't intend to get a whole meal or students who only want a muffin for breakfast, not the whole meal. Those items would need to be paid for individually instead of being considered a qualifying meal under State and Federal guidelines. Deposits can be made at either of the school offices for meal accounts.

The Breakfast Menu will be the same at both buildings.
