Good afternoon, families!
Over the next couple days, your child will be coming home with a new sticker on the back of their transportation tag. This sticker includes a barcode that will help us accurately identify students when they receive breakfast. It also adds an extra layer of safety by alerting staff to any allergies or dietary needs noted in our system.
Please make sure your child brings their plastic transportation tag to school each day, securely attached to their bookbag. If your child gets a new bookbag or needs a replacement tag, please let us know, and we will gladly provide one.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and ensure a smooth breakfast process!
