To ensure the safety of all students, our microwaves are now available for use during lunch for grades 5th through 8th only.
This change is a direct result of several safety incidents involving younger students who have accidentally burned food and other items in the microwaves. To prevent future incidents and ensure a safe and smooth lunch period for everyone, we have made the decision to limit microwave access.
Students in grades Kindergarten through 4th grade will need to bring a lunch that does not require heating.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep our students safe.

Howdy, families!
