WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR ENDS, SUMMER MEALS BEGIN!

With the Summer Meal Programs, children and teens ages 18 and younger and enrolled students with disabilities up to 21 years old can continue to eat healthy throughout the summer at no cost, just by showing up at a participating meal site.

LUNCH TIME BIRTHDAY POLICIES

Rhodes School for the Performing Arts has an open-door policy regarding birthday parties and we welcome the opportunity to help you celebrate our students’ special day. To avoid disruption to the instructional program, Birthday celebrations are held during the lunch period and not during class time. Due to federal guidelines, parents may only bring dessert. Due to state health guidelines and liability issues associated with outside food being served to students, parents of other students in the class must give permission for their children to participate.

Forms & Documents

Food Allergy Form

The Food Allergy Action Plan form should be completed, signed & dated by the child’s physician as well as the parent or guardian. Please email your completed, signed form to childnutrition@rhodesschool.org. If a valid Food Allergy Action Plan is not on file for the student, we will not be able to accommodate requests made by the parent or guardian.
