LUNCH:
Students will be eating lunch in the cafeteria. If students will not be purchasing lunch then parents are encouraged to send lunch with the student in their backpack to help avoid any cross contamination. If students forget lunch there will be a cart outside the front office door for late drop off. Parents must bring late lunches no later than 10am and put the student name, teacher and grade on the lunch box prior to coming to school. To ensure that we maintain a safe environment and avoid disruption of instructional time, only parents are allowed in for lunch to sit with their child at designated tables outside the cafeteria.

If someone other than the parent/guardian will be picking up the student, the person picking up must be listed as one of the student’s emergency contacts. Parents/Guardians should email the school registrar (Shannon_Chambless@roundrockisd.org) at least 24 hours in advance to add any additional people to the emergency contacts. The email should specify the name and phone number of the person picking up.
