You are welcome to come eat lunch with your child. Although, we encourage you to reserve your visits for special days or occasions. • The Allen ISD website posts the lunch menus. • Please send a snack and a water bottle with your child each day.

  6. Lunch • Practice lunch codes • Student Nutrition will mail you a packet in early August containing your child’s lunch code. This code is very important because your child will also use it to access school computers and check out library books. • When sending checks to the school for your student’s lunch account (or any other occasion) please make sure the check includes name, address, telephone number and driver’s license number with state of issue. • Tips for helping your child be successful: • Opening containers (i.e. milk, juice, yogurt, fruit cups) • Table manners (i.e. staying in your seat, using inside voices, raising your hand if you need help)
