  20. If your child will leave early, be tardy, or be absent… • Fell free to let me know ahead of time. I will get as much together as I can. • Please send a note for absences. • Children can bring me lunch money and I will see that it is turned in.

  21. News from the cafeteria • Welcome back! • I have a few reminders from the cafeteria to help us have a wonderful year. Please fill out the free and reduced forms and have them turned in on the first day of school. I would encourage you to fill these out online, at https://frmeals.rcschools.net, given that the response time is quicker. Parents are responsible for all breakfast and lunch charges until the process is complete. This usually takes 10-15 business days. Also, remember that if your child was on free and reduced lunch last year, you will still need to fill out a new application for this school year. The grace period for students that received free and reduced meals last school year lasts until September 19, 2018. If no application is received before this date, the student will be required to pay the full price for breakfast and lunch starting on September 20, 2018.

  22. A good way for your child to start off the day right is by eating breakfast, so consider letting them eat breakfast at school. We serve breakfast every school morning from 6:45-7:15. • Listed below are the full prices for students and visitors. Please remember that we accept cash and checks at the school, but you may also add money to your student’s account online. It is very important that if you choose to send money (to be added to your child’s account), it must be in an envelope, baggie, etc. labeled with the student’s first and last name, along with their teacher’s name. This needs to be done to ensure that the money you send is placed into the correct account.

  23. Breakfast (K-8th): $1.25 • Breakfast (Reduced): $0.30 • Breakfast (Visitors): $2.00 • Lunch (K-5th): $2.50 • Lunch (6th-8th): $2.75 • Lunch (Reduced): $0.40 • Lunch (Visitors): $3.75

  24. Also, remember that students cannot charge a la carte items. NO exceptions! Regulations Prohibit any outside food in the cafeteria; this includes McDonald’s, Wendy’s, etc. If you choose to send in cookies, cupcakes, etc., these items must be taken to and eaten in the classroom. • If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. • Nancy Barrett • Cafeteria Manager • 615-904-6715 • barrettn@rcschools.net

  25. This power point will be on our class webpage so that you can access it from home. • Forms for field trips and other forms to sign will be available on the webpage if the form sent home was lost or did not arrive.
