Lunch menus for the Southwest Cafeteria are posted online at caschools.us and can be found under the cafeteria tab at the top of the page. Menus for each month are posted at least one week in advance of the start of the current month. Parents are strongly encouraged to discuss the menu with their child to assist in determining when their child would prefer to purchase lunch or bring a lunch from home in the event the child does not like what is on the menu. The only alternative to what entrée is on the menu is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and there is a limited supply of these sandwiches available daily. Based on supply and demand there is no guarantee that an alternative will always be available for your child.

Screenings for kindergarten will be starting this month. Watch for a letter to be sent home with more details.
