  • Breakfast
    • Research shows children who eat breakfast pay better attention in class, have less discipline problems, and can catch on to new learning more quickly. 
  • No Student is allowed to charge a la carte or extra items.   
  • Lunch codes are provided so that parents/guardians and employees can pay on account to keep a positive balance. Parents/Guardians can view their child’s account and their meal purchases through Skyward Family Access.
