We are excited to extend this invitation to our school parents, but due to limited space, only one parent visitor can attend per quarter and the following guidelines must be adhered to so we can accommodate all parents who wish to eat lunch in the cafeteria.



Parents who wish to eat lunch with their child must:

• Sign up on the Sign-Up Genius before Monday at 12:00 noon.
• Only those parents who have signed up are allowed to visit the cafeteria.
• Due to space, one parent visitor is allowed per quarter. Please do not sign up for more than one visit per quarter as this blocks other parents from signing up.
• When signing up, include whether you will purchase a plate lunch from the cafeteria or bring something from home so the cafeteria can plan accordingly.
• If you are not purchasing a cafeteria lunch and are bringing food into the cafeteria, the Child Nutrition Program does not allow food that is wrapped or marked with commercial/fast food labels in the cafeteria.
• For safety reasons, siblings are not allowed.
• Because this is a special time for parents to be with their child, parents and their child will eat together at the designated visitors’ tables/spaces. Other students must stay in their regular seat assignments.
• Upon arrival, parents should sign in at the school office and receive a visitors pass. Parents should walk directly to the cafeteria when their child’s lunch time begins. When lunch is over, parents should walk directly to the office and sign out.
• Parents should not follow students to the classroom or activities after lunch.
• For the privacy and safety of students, cell phones are not allowed to be used on campus for personal reasons. You can take a picture with your child, but it must be outside or without other students in the background. Please enjoy this cell-phone free time with your child.

We hope you enjoy this time together with your child and appreciate your cooperation and willingness to follow the guidelines above.

Lunch price - $ 6.30 (check only) - no lunch charges for parents that forgot their checks at home

• A note from Child Nutrition:

• We would like to encourage parents to make lunch accounts, https://www.myschoolbucks.com/, so that they can see what their children are buying in the cafeteria every day.

Please remember:

• Meal Payments: NO cash will be accepted beginning this school year. However, checks and money orders will be accepted. Parents are encouraged to create an online meal account at www.myschoolbucks.com. Click here for a quick guide on how to use the My School Apps website.



• Student Meal Prices for Paying Students:

Breakfast $2.75 (Elem)

Lunch $3.55 (Elem)

Please note that according to the LA. School Food Service Policy Guidance Manual, outside restaurant food and soft drinks are not allowed in the school cafeteria. Your compliance is appreciated and necessary.

New 2023/2024 Athletic Pass:

It’s not too late to purchase your 2023/2024 Athletic Pass for entrance into all regular season home athletic events this school year. The cost of the pass is $100, this includes all processing and transaction fees so your total at checkout will not be more. The pass is only sold for individuals and for the entire year, at this time we do not have passes for each sport season. This is completely optional, we know for some the cost might outweigh the convenience of having a pass and we will still be accepting cash at the gate for all events. The pass will not be accepted at tournaments and please remember it is only good for contests at St. George. You can purchase the pass using this link: 23/24 St. George Athletic Home Pass

GO DRAGONS!!
