Catholic Schools Week

Parent Lunches

Parents are asked to sign up if they plan to join their child for lunch during Catholic Schools Week.

CLICK HERE TO VIEW CSW CALENDAR

CSW Parent/Student Lunch Days

A long-held tradition of our CSW celebration is for parents to enjoy lunch with their children during designated lunch times.

Many parents bring lunch to enjoy with their child (Chick-fil-A, Jimmy John's, etc.). K-8 parents who have completed the Sign-Up and have a current Safe Environment badge (aka Fast Pass) can go directly to the cafeteria and show their badge. K-8 parents without a current Safe Environment badge and who have NOT completed the Sign-Up will need to check in with Raptor in McManus and then walk to the cafeteria. All Pre-K parents will check-in at McManus. Having a current SE badge and completing the Sign-Up will make check-in faster.
