FAQs

• I can’t come on that day. Will my child be able to eat the Thanksgiving Lunch? Yes. To make the lunch line move efficiently, please pre-purchase a ticket for your child. The classroom teacher will give your child their ticket on the way to lunch. Your child can type in their Cafeteria PIN, but we appreciate pre-purchase to keep the line moving efficiently.
• Can I bring in outside food if we don’t want the Thanksgiving Lunch? Yes, we understand not all families will eat the Thanksgiving Lunch. Families are welcome to bring outside food. However, there will not be a coordinated lunch order option from an outside venue this year. We do not permit third-party deliveries (Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc.)
• Do I need to purchase a ticket if my family is not eating the Thanksgiving Lunch? No, you will not need to purchase a ticket. You are still invited to attend the luncheon and bring a lunch to eat with family and friends.
