The school participates in the Milk Producers Marketing Board School Milk/Juice Program. Parents will receive a form to purchase milk from the program each month. The milk is delivered to the students daily, or as ordered. Parents are required to submit milk order forms and payment by the monthly due date.

The school discourages parents from giving their children permission to leave the school grounds to purchase lunch. All students under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult when leaving the school property during the time they would ordinarily be in the charge of the school.
