In the 2011-2012 school year, meal cards are included in the student dress code. Students are not required to wear the lanyards unless they need to use them in the cafeteria. At other times of the day, lanyards and cards can be kept in a backpack, locker, or cubby.

This year the front office is NOT giving out slips for students who forget their cards. Students must remember to ask their teachers for their emergency card before going to the cafeteria. When students lose their cards they must request a replacement for $2 from the front office. See full procedures here: Meal Card Procedures 2011-2012

Healthy Food, Healthy Bodies
ICS takes very seriously its responsibility to address the well-being of the children entrusted to its care, and that includes their physical and emotional well-being. Because diet is a large part of well-being, ICS asks that you send your children to school with healthy lunches and snacks. Parents are asked to try not to send any soda, candy, or sweet treats in lunches and to send healthy treats for classroom celebrations.

Please contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) any time for help with any issue regarding meals! (215-238-8000, x2228)
