Here's a message from our cafeteria manager:
Starting in September, (next week) some new changes will be taking place.
PB&Js and Protein Boxes will only be served/offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Deli Subs and Hummus Boxes will only be served/offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Chef Salads will continue to be offered and served daily.
Furthermore, instead of offering goldfish and cheese sticks with the PB&Js, we will only be offering large grape PB&Js that meet the required grain and protein minimums.
Thank you for your time!

Dear families!
If your student rides the bus in the mornings, please have them at the bus stop 5-7 minutes early and ready to board when it arrives. Delays in waiting for students to get out of cars or walk down sidewalks hinder our bus routes. Thank you for your cooperation!

VA Code requires a 24 hr notification for lockdown drills. We will be doing our first lockdown drill on Tuesday, the 19th. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Perry.
