CAFETERIA PROGRAM
The law requires that the school make the free/reduced meal program available to all students. If your child qualified for one of these programs during the last school year, he/she will have the opportunity to continue on the program during September, but you must reapply each school year. The school district mailed out applications for the new school year to each returning student's home during August. If your child is new to the school or you did not receive an application by mail, they are available in the Main Office and Cafeteria. Please complete it if you are interested in applying and return to the Main Office. The cafeteria will contact students who quality for free or reduced price meals after application processing, and the meal program will begin as early as October. If you do not meet the qualifications for the free or reduced price meal programs, your child will still be able to purchase meals at full price and you may deposit money into his/her account in the Cafeteria. Each child is issued a "debit" card to swipe when he/she passes through the Cafeteria line. When the account gets low, a notice will be sent home with your child so you may replenish the account. If you have any questions, please feel free to telephone Mr. Desmond John, our Cafeteria Manager, at 818-784-5469 before 2:00 pm.

You may also send your child with a sack lunch from home.

Should your child forget his/her lunch. we ask that you do not deliver it to your child's room. Instead, please mark the bag with your child's name and room number, put it on the lunch cart in the main hallway, and leave a note in the office for your child to pick it up at his/her lunch break. We would appreciate that you follow this procedure so that you avoid interrupting valuable instruction time in your child's classroom.

Please do not send your child to school with a hot fast food lunch, as the smell of it causes a distraction to the other children in the classroom.
