*Last day for lunch guests is May 1, 2026*
Lunch Guest Note: If you plan to purchase a lunch for yourself from the cafeteria, there are only two payment options.
1) Use exact payment using cash. An adult lunch costs $3.65.
2) Pay with cash and have change go towards the student's lunch account.
Charging an adult lunch to the child's account is not an available option. The cafeteria doesn't have change and cannot take credit card payments. Thank you for your understanding.
All guests must sign up and complete a background screening prior to visiting. All school/PTA volunteers will need to complete a background screening. Background screenings must be completed each new school year.
To help maintain a safe and orderly school environment, we ask for your cooperation by adhering to the guidelines below:
- Please use the following link to sign-up to eat lunch with your student. Guests must sign-up at least two days in advance. This helps us better accommodate our guests and seating.
- The sign-up time is the time you should check in at the main office. (See lunch schedule and check in time schedule below) Once appointments are full, a different open date will need to be selected.
- Some dates are blocked due to school activities/events.
- If you have multiple students, you must sign up for each student’s check-in time.
- All lunch visitors must complete the online guest/volunteer background screening application. The online application must be completed at least 5days prior to your first visit. This process must be completed each year.
- At check in, a photo ID will be requested. Once properly checked in, visitors must wear a visitor sticker while in the building. The process will be more efficient if all your information is updated in the Parent Portal.
- A designated eating area will be provided for visitors and their student. Once the student’s lunch period is over, all visitors must leave the building. Guests must exit through the main office. Guests are not allowed to walk their student to the classroom or attend recess.
