News from the Cafeteria

Parents: please make sure your students have lunch money in their lunch accounts. The cafeteria will NOT be allowing any more charges next week. If your child does not have enough funds for lunch, they will receive a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with milk only.

Eighth grade parents: leftover funds will be dispersed to younger siblings. If this is your last child here at Cure’ of Ars, you can request a refund, otherwise, it will go into our Angel Fund.

Cafeteria is closed on Monday, May 13-Bring sack lunch

Thank you for all your support this year!

Have a great summer!

Sarah Hirsch

Starting May 24, the student school Google accounts will be turned off for the summer.

For graduated 8th graders, the accounts will be closed permanently. For the rest of the students, the accounts will be reopened when school resumes. This means students will

not be able to access their email or Google drive during the summer. This will allow us to do necessary updates to the accounts. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Follis at terri.follis@cureofars.com
