Good Afternoon,
The Eastern Jr./Sr. High School will begin being served school lunch meals from the Elementary Kitchen in a staggered, pilot program next week. The goal of this initiative is to improve meal quality, and utilize kitchen staff in a central location to promote efficiency of service. Meals will not be eaten in the Elementary Cafeteria this semester, but instead brought over and 7-12 students will still use the High School Cafeteria as they have for years. This trial pilot will begin with Jr. High next week on Monday with high school grades to slowly be integrated into this process over the next few weeks. Breakfast will become grab and go with a centralized terminal in the Jr./Sr. High School for students to put numbers in and hot breakfast items will still be available. Although this is a change for the second semester, it is a pilot program to measure what improvements occur. As always, please reach out with questions at any time.
Thank you,
Garret A. Hall
Principal. Eastern Jr./Sr. High School
