Elementary Lunch Study Update
This year the district has been exploring options to improve the elementary lunch period, including ongoing work with our parents on this topic.
Exploring Options to Improve Elementary Lunch Period

As our schools have grown in size, we have found that some students are spending the bulk of their lunch period moving through the lunch line, leaving little time to eat their lunch. We are working on some short and long term solutions to address this concern.
