School Lunch Information

If your child is on medication or has medical needs that we should be aware of, please complete Health Services Request Form A. If you completed this form in the past and there have been no changes, a new form is not required.

If your child requires the administration of medication during the school day, please complete Health Services Request Form B. This form must be completed annually with a physician signature.

If your child has food allergies that require lunch accommodations, please have your physician complete Health Services Request Form C. If you completed this form in the past and there have been no changes, a new form is not required as long as the current form is signed by a physician.

If any of these health forms are necessary for your child, please have them completed and returned to the office by Monday, August 18.
