Notes from Mr. Theilen

Lunch Accounts: It is time to check up on your student's lunch account. The Cafeteria Manager sends sheets home weekly with the balance or balance due. We have a large number of negative accounts right now. Please check with your student, have them check the book bag perhaps. If you have questions regarding the accounts you may call the school office and ask for the Cafeteria Manager. Remember this is a debit system and not to be used as a credit system. Refer to page 7 of your handbook.
