FOOD AND TREATS AT SCHOOL
We have had a number of questions with regards to bringing treats to share at school. We are currently working with AHS to develop a post pandemic policy regarding recommendations for safe and best practice regarding food safety and handling. Until we have some concrete guidelines in place, no treats or food from home that will be shared with others, will be allowed. This would include birthday cupcakes, food for special event days etc. Our Hot Lunch program already aligns with AHS guidelines and we are currently able to offer that option.
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
Our hot lunch program has started! Check your PowerSchool accounts to place an order. We have more information on our Hot Lunch page. The November order form will be up soon!
Would you like to be a Hot Lunch Volunteer?
We are looking for a couple of Hot Lunch volunteers to help sort orders on our Hot Lunch days. Please fill out our volunteer form if you are interested. We will be contacting those who have indicated interest in the next week.
