Central Students:
If you are new to Central Intermediate School this year, or a returning student that just needs a reminder, here's a little information about lunches at Central. School lunch is provided at no charge, however, students may have a 'Lots A' extra. Funds for the extras may be deposited into a student lunch account through the school office. If you have any questions, please reach out to your school office or Mrs McConnell at 815-313-3337.
Summer break is quickly coming to an end and it's time to start thinking about school again! The nutrition department is happy to announce that all OES students will be offered their school meals (breakfast & lunch) FREE of charge again this school year! Since the free benefit is for a full meal only, children who choose to take ONLY a milk, will be required to pay for the milk at a cost of .50 and they must have funds available in their school meal account. Deposits can be made in your child's school office. Attached is the menu for the first week of school.
Just a note to say a big THANK YOU to all who participated in or donated time or supplies for our summer program! The program was bigger than last year and certainly kept us busy! We hope to offer the program again next summer so keep an eye out for info in late spring!
The summer will soon be coming to an end and so is our summer meal program! This will be the last week for ordering meal bags. Pick up day will be on Wednesday, August 13th from 10am -1pm at Shepherd Middle School. Place your orders now using the link below!
