How can my child pay for ice cream or extra cafeteria items?
Extra items, such as chips and ice cream are available in the cafeteria. If your child wants these items, they must bring money for these items on a daily basis. Most of these items cost 50 cents. This money must be separate from lunch money.

Can I chaperone a field trip?
