​A is for Accounts
  • Keep a positive balance in your Lunch Account (See "MyPaymentsPlus" below)
  • Look for “low balance” notices sent home in the backpacks.  Students are given limited choices for meals when the accounts are not current and food service is stopped when balances are negative.  Information on assistance for lunch funds can be provided at the school office from Mrs. Clark
  • Learn your lunch PIN [carry it in your pocket, write it in your lunch box, sing it to the tune of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”] 

B is for Blacktop
The lunch schedule has 6 periods from 11:00am-2:05pm.   Students will have recess before lunch on the blacktop, whether permitting.  Please dress for the weather, label all belongings, and remind your students to bring home what they bring to school.  The lost and found is at the bottom of the rear stairwell of the cafeteria.

C is for Café – Tuscan Tiger’s Den Café
Who sees 620+ students in 3 hours every day in the cafe?  Our Lunch Staff!
Volunteer by contacting  Kristina Raines of the PTA Recess Committee at kris_mack@yahoo.com or your class parent.   Our lunch staff could always use an extra pair of hands!

Miss Val, Miss Wilson, Miss T., Miss M., Miss Sandra, Mrs. Connelly, Ms. Brown, Miss Nancy, Miss Sylvia, Miss Lill, Miss Robin, Miss Alneisah are our aides.   Miss Sonja is our cashier and Miss Georgia is our server.
