PTO Penny Wars

Lunch Visitors are now welcome!


Parents are welcome to join their child for lunch during their scheduled time, except on days of School testing or when the administration calls for a closed campus. Parents and children eating together are seated at a designated area in the lunchroom. Parents may bring their own child lunch but may not bring food for other students. Parents must email the school one (1) hour before the scheduled lunch time, if a non-parent adult will be joining their child for lunch. The name of the visitor must be included in the email. The school’s administration reserves the right to determine whether an adult visitor will be allowed to have lunch at Aristoi Classical Academy. Visitors will not be allowed to visit with other students and must adhere to all Aristoi Classical Academy policies and procedures. When visiting during lunch, advanced notice is always appreciated so that staff can ensure adequate seating.

Letter to Household - Application for Free & Reduced


Aristoi Classical Academy is committed to ensuring all students have access to healthy meals. Families may qualify for free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch based on income or participation in assistance programs. This packet includes important information and instructions for applying.


New for 25–26: Students who qualify for reduced-price meals will now receive meals at no cost!
