Page 2 NO MONEY = NO LUNCHY! Please note that we are enforcing a policy about lunch balances. We will not be able to extend lunch credit into negative balances. Free and Reduced lunches are still available. We will have the students call parents for money or a lunch to be brought from home. We need to do our best to collect all the negative balances from our campuses, so we don't end the year with students owing lunch money. This policy will help keep those amounts from growing! If you have any questions please call the office. Thanks! Please see the attached Revised Lunch Menu for June Lost and Found Lost and Found items will be out during the week of June 11th June 15th. Any items left after this date will be donated. So please stop by to check out the lost and found. Last day of school is June 20th This is a half day.
