Please place lunch money in a clearly labeld bag or envelope (Lunch Money) and send it to school in your child's red folder (provided by their regualr Kindergarten teacher). All other monies (field trips, parties…) should be given to the regular Kindergarten Teacher and should be clearly labeld to avoid any confusion. You may pay for lunch daily, weekly, or monthly, however we highly reccomend sending a check for the month (if possible) or the school system provides a service to pay lunch accounts online.
