    Substituted items may contain allergens.  Managers and staff are doing their best to monitor these changing products and substitutions.

    Also for this school year, 2023-2024, there is a new initiative that allows any student that qualifies as Reduced to not be charged for their complete (Reimbursable) lunch.

    Both of these Initiatives will not cover any additional items for student purchase. These items will be charged to the students account and money needs to be available on their account.
