Reminder to Dress Warmly--recess is outside unless it is below 20 degrees!
 Starting this week, we will give students the option to eat LUNCH indoors in the cafeteria
- We will adhere to all district safety guidelines, with students 3’ apart, facing same directions; only one grade level will be in the cafeteria at a time.
- Students can always choose to eat outside!
- We WILL continue to have outdoor recess--students should dress prepared to be outside for 30 minutes.
- NEED winter coats, hats, gloves, boots for your student or family? Please contact Julia Ho and list the items that you need and your child’s sizes.
Support your student in bringing their laptop to school EVERY DAY!
 They need their laptops charged and in their backpacks every day.
- We only have a few “Loaners” for students whose laptops break or who forget them--once we run out, students will have to do any online work on their own time.
- Reach out to your student’s advisor if you need support in how to build this routine.
- Students will be responsible for laptops all the way through high school so it’s an important skill to build now! Thank you for helping support your student in building a routine that works for them to set them up for success in high school.

CPS Lunch & Breakfast Menu - December Week 1
Click here for the full menu >>
For the month of December, Food and Nutrition Services will publish a weekly menu, rather than a monthly menu, due to continued national shortages of food and packaging materials, labor and vendor delivery delays and cancellations, This will ensure the menu is as accurate as possible. A weekly menu also means there will be fewer last minute menu changes.
 Healthy Snack of the Week
Edamame, Corn and Brown Rice! Tip: Enjoy these mixed up together or separately, depending on your child's preferences!
