This menu is for the weeks Sept. 28th and Oct. 5th.The envelope, with payment, is due back to
school by Wednesday, September 23rd.
We are not receiving some of our meal
envelopes back to school on time.These
envelopes determine how many breakfasts/lunches are prepared for the
students.If we have students go to
breakfast and lunch that have not signed up, we run short.The “count” goes to the kitchen each morning
indicating how many breakfasts and how many lunches to prepare.To avoid waste, we do not make extra
meals.If your child’s envelope is not
back in time, they are taking someone’s lunch/breakfast that did sign up.
Please send your envelope back by the due date listed in this newsletter and on
the menu itself.

listing school closings are listed on page 1 of the handbook.Notices are called in to the stations as
early as possible.
The school year is off to a great
start.All the hard work that the

opening. I encourage all of you to attend Friday Morning Sing at 8:30a.m. as it
is emblematic of what we try to deliver at Dover School:community, learning and joy.Also, please stop by the Cafegymatoriam to
