LUNCH MENU/ENVELOPES

Please be prompt in returning your child’s/children’s lunch envelope. It’s difficult to “estimate” the number of breakfasts/lunches. We are trying not to waste food, but unfortunately, when envelopes are not in and we estimate numbers, meals have been wasted. Also, if your child signs up for lunch and/or breakfast, it is important that they actually take it. We have prepared breakfasts/lunches for students signed up, and at times, they do not take it. Jim prepares each tray – some days, many lunches are discarded! What a shame to waste the food – and that adds to our daily cost as well. Go over the lunch menu with your child/children and have them sign up for only the ones they wish to have.

IMMUNIZATIONS

If your child has had any immunizations during the school year, please let us know so we may mark their health records. Also remember, if you have a child going into kindergarten or 7^th grade, check with their doctor to see if they are “up to date”.

EVENTS IN JUNE

So you may plan ahead, 6^th grade graduation will be held June 12^th at 6:30p.m. at the Dover Town Hall. The last day of school at Dover is Monday, June 15^th. All students will be released at noon. Lunch will be served prior to dismissal.
