Families,
We have a significant number of lunch account balances that are negative approaching the end of the school year. Please take some time and follow the attached instructions to update your children's accounts. Account balances do carry over from year to year and should you depart the school district refunds are given.
IMPORTANT: Children carrying negative balances entering the 2024-2025 school year will be restricted from social events and extracurricular participation.
We recognize that this is often an oversight and we appreciate everyone's attention on this matter!
Sincerely,
Mr. Darnell
