Please send in a small, simple snack each day, IF NEEDED. Please be sure to send snacks that are easy to manage and quick to eat. Students may keep water bottles on their desk, but should not have juice or other beverages. Students may pack or buy lunch in the cafeteria. If you plan on having your child purchase a lunch often, please send in a check in the orange folder and it will be delivered to the cafeteria in the morning. Prepaying will make things much easier for the students and they won’t be worried about losing lunch money. Checks for lunch should be made payable to the County of Loudoun.
