Student Allergy Information
8 months ago
Students with allergies are permitted food substitutes only when supported by a "Medical Plan of Care" that was completed and signed by a medical authority and a parent/guardian. A recognized medical authority may be a doctor or a physician's assistant. Since most allergies continue, it is not necessary for a new statement to be secured each year. Someone from the district will call you to confirm student allergies annually.
Please find the Medical Plan of Care here or on the district food service department website. Once completed, please return to your student's school nurse. The form will be processed, and you will be notified if additional information is needed. Once acceptable, you will be notified that the food allergy is listed on the Point of Sale. Please do not assume the food service staff is restricting your student's food choices until you have confirmation that the allergy is listed on the Point of Sale.

Attention Parents/Guardians
Welcome to the 24/25 school year. This is just a reminder to please make sure your student/students have lunch money in their account, if needed on a weekly basis. Also, please complete a 24/25 free-reduced lunch application, if you have not already done so, to keep your students eligibility. If a free-reduced lunch application is not received your students' lunch eligibility will revert to full pay in October. If you have already received a "Direct Certification" or "Approval Letter" stating your free/reduced eligibility, you are already approved for the 24/25 school year and you do not need to complete an application. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you and have a wonderful school year.
Sincerely,
Jackie Westerfer
