A menu will be sent home bimonthly. Children with milk allergies may receive juice upon receipt of a physician's statement. Ice cream and other a la carte items may also be purchased by children, but not in lieu of lunch. Federal and state subsidies are allowed for only one lunch per student. Carbonated soft drinks are not permitted during lunch and bottled drinks and other glass containers should not be brought to school or the cafeteria.
Injuries can result from broken glass.
However, on those occasions when a child is without a lunch or does not have money to purchase one, a peanut butter or cheese sandwich is provided. The child will tell the cafeteria manager. The manager will give the child a note indicating the need for additional lunch money. It is the child's responsibility to inform the parent. A computerized cash register system enables families to purchase meals in advance on a weekly, biweekly, monthly or quarterly basis.
