Cafeteria Rules

Submitted on Thu, 03/11/2010 - 16:16

This is a reminder to elementary parents that elementary students are not allowed to buy LUNCH from the snack counter. They can however buy their lunch tickets and eat from the buffet. Parents who wish to buy lunch for their children from the snack counter are discouraged from doing so because many of the students have expressed the feeling that it is unfair for some students to eat from the snack counter while others do not. Please help us to enforce this long standing rule by encouraging your child to either eat from the buffet or bring a bagged lunch.
