To help maintain a clean, safe, and focused lunch environment for all students, students will need to choose items to bring for lunch other than popcorn. We have noticed increased messes in the cafeteria, distractions caused by sharing with tablemates, and concerns regarding student allergies and dietary restrictions. Additionally, popcorn has been carried out of the cafeteria and into classrooms, creating similar concerns in instructional spaces. We appreciate your support and understanding as we work together to keep our campus clean, safe, and focused on learning. Thank you for partnering with us to make lunchtime a positive experience for all Eagles!

Parents please share and discuss with your student - Student spectators that stay after school to attend the 5:00 p.m. athletic games at Voss are to stay inside the school in the front foyer until a staff member walks them down to the gym or football field at 4:45. Students may not roam the building after school. Students should also never leave the campus. Parents please know there is no adult supervision for your child unless they are waiting in the front foyer.
