In the event a student forgets their lunch , we may make an exception to allow a parent to drop it off . In this case , the student will have to pick up the lunch in the Welcome Center during their assigned lunch wave . However , this should be the rare exception and not a common practice .

In an effort to prevent the exposure to food allergies the following activities are prohibited : a .
