Cafeteria News
This fall, ES student council members gave input for ongoing improvements to food service at AISC. As per their requests, we are going to pilot having the 5th graders eat lunch in the FAC cafeteria to offer more space and seating. This will begin next Monday and run until winter break, at which time it will be evaluated. On Monday, we will meet with the fifth graders to go over routines such as storing home lunches in refrigerators, how to use the microwaves in the FAC cafeteria, and clean up routines. Regular lunch options will remain the same. Students who have pre-ordered lunch will be offered the same menu in the FAC cafeteria, and students can continue to purchase the daily meal or snacks/sandwiches/salads using their ID card. Third and fourth graders will continue to eat in the ES cafeteria, as usual. Thanks to all our student council members for their input!
