New Lunch Ordering Process
We are excited to announce that you will be able to order you child's lunches online through ParentsWeb this year!

The menu is now available for the entire month of September. Orders must be placed by midnight prior to the day you wish to receive lunch (example: If your child would like Chick-Fil-A on Tuesday you must place your order by midnight on Monday). We will continue to collect payment on a daily basis for lunches ordered. Payment should be sent with each child to their homeroom teacher clearly marked for that day's lunch.
Below are the steps to placing your lunch order: • Log in to ParentsWeb • Under the Student Information tab, click Lunch • Scroll to the bottom of the screen Click "Create Web Order", the menu list will appear • Enter the quantity of lunch items you wish to order for each child • Once you have entered the total items for your family click "Order Items " • A total cost for all items ordered will appear • You're Done!
