Good morning. The Grab and Go lunch option will begin tomorrow. We will be sharing more details later today with the exact locations for the meal delivery service. Transportation and Cafeteria staff have worked hard over the weekend to make this happen!

Please complete the Grab and Go lunch form. If transportation is a barrier, we are working on delivery routes. If your school-age child attends a daycare when school is not in session, this is an option too. We are all in this together. https://forms.gle/BxFfK2aLFmiEpFzP8
