Lunch Guidelines:

Payments for school lunches must be made at the time of ordering your student's lunch. Lunch menus are available monthly and and need to be submitted by the cut off date.  Lunches are available for those students who have ordered in advance. Parents are responsible for providing their student's with a meal if they have not ordered through the menu order form. CCS does not have extra meals on-site. Parents are responsible for managing their student's account balance. Please see the Parent & Student Handbook for more information about the meal process and payments.
