News from the Office…

We have certainly been lucky with the weather we are having. Loving getting outside and getting the fresh air! We want to say thank you to all of the parents that were here for conferences last week! We are very grateful for your encouragement and support in your child’s education! We also had the book fair this past week which seemed very busy as well!! The kids are always excited to go and pick out a good book. We want to say thank you to everyone that came and helped out with the book fair as it takes so many volunteers to pull that event off! You are appreciated! Lastly we want to say thank you to so many who volunteered to bring in the delicious dinner for the teachers last week for conferences. It is very much appreciated!

We are off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next week for Thanksgiving break. November 23 – 25

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and again, enjoy this weather!!!

Snow Day Procedure for Hot Lunch…

screen-shot-2016-11-17-at-11-15-50-amSNOW DAY PROCEDURE FOR HOT LUNCH ~ With snow just around the corner, the food service program would like to remind parents and students about what will happen if school is closed due to weather. If the district is closed, the menu that was supposed to be served on the snow day will be moved to the next school day.  An example: if school is canceled on Tuesday due to weather, Tuesday’s menu will be served on Wednesday and the menu that was scheduled for Wednesday will be completely canceled.  Because of our computer lunch account system, there will be no need to issue credits and your student will still be able to order a lunch if they need one. The only exception to this policy is if school is canceled on Friday. In this case, Friday’s menu will be completely canceled and we will continue with the regular menu on Monday.  Information on what menu will be served on the day you return will be available on Twitter or the foodservice web page at www.jenhudfood.org. Please feel free to contact the food service department at 457-2400 if you have any questions or are unsure of what the menu will be. Thank you! ~ Stacey L. Wykoski, Food Service Director
