Dear Junior and Senior students and their Parents/Guardians:

The District continues to implement mitigation measures to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. To that end, in order to promote social distancing during students’ lunch period, we are opening the campus during the lunch period for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year to allow eligible juniors and seniors the privilege of leaving campus for their lunch period.

In order to be permitted to participate in Open Campus Lunch, junior and senior students and their parents/guardians must review the terms below and complete the Open Campus Junior/Senior Lunch Permission Form and return the form to the School District. Participation in the open campus lunch program is completely optional and not required.
