As part of our commitment to ensuring the health and safety of all students, and in alignment with district and cafeteria guidelines, outside food items are not permitted in the cafeteria. This includes fast food, homemade, and/or store-bought entrees, side dishes, desserts, etc.
This policy helps maintain food safety standards, accommodate students with allergies, and comply with federal and state regulations surrounding child nutrition programs. Our cafeteria offers a variety of nutritious and balanced meals that meet these standards, and we encourage all students to take advantage of this service. They also offer Special Occasion treats, which families may order for celebrations. These orders must be placed at least two weeks in advance.
If you have any questions or concerns about this policy or any other aspects of the school meal program, please do not hesitate to contact our Child Nutrition Director, Ashley Tambasco, (704-961-3048; [email protected]). Ms. Tambasco will provide further clarification or discuss any individual circumstances.
