Pursuant to a request by SCS School Nutrition manager, please note that the cafeteria will not be able to accept checks or charges after May 10, 2012.

                                                                             

    Our School Board has issued a policy that allows only family members to visit students at lunch in the Cafeteria.  Please be mindful of this when coming to have lunch with a child.

     Parents or Guardians picking up students from GBE must present a valid photo identification and be listed on the registration form.  This policy is in place to keep our students safe and most parents/guardians happy. 

    Parents and Guardians, please be certain that we have a valid phone number on file for you.  We do SchoolCast phone calls often that give you information about school events and special opportunities that you and your child could receive.  However, when we find the phone number is no longer valid, then you miss out on this valuable information.  Also, if your child were to get hurt at school, then we would have no way of contacting you to let you know.  Once again, please send us new phone numbers any time your number changes.
