Last Call for Taste of 500

From Josh Mathiasmeier and Miguel Martin
Students from every school in the district have the opportunity to let their voice be heard when it comes to school meals for next year and beyond. The district???s annual ???Taste of 500??? food tasting fair allows students to taste-test possible new menu items and provide their feedback.

This year???s event is scheduled for Thursday, March 31 at F.L. Schlagle High School. There will be two sessions:

Noon to 1:45 p.m. for students
1:45 to 3 p.m. for district staff and others

The early time was set for students to allow for bus transportation from the Transportation Department.

Each school is allowed to send up to 20 students to the event. If a school wishes to send additional students, arrangements can be made. Nutritional Services will pay for bus transportation, but schools must:

RSVP to Nutritional Services and Transportation with your school name and the number of students you will be bringing.

RSVPs are due by March 10. Once all RSVPs are completed, a bus schedule will be developed and distributed to all schools.

Principals,

We will continue with the process that Dr. Miguel had established regarding staffing ESL openings.
1. If you have an opening and are considering an individual, you need to communicate with Kristen Scott.
2. A member of the ESL department will need to be part of the interview process.
3. All decisions will be made in collaboration with the building and ESL department.

If you have any questions regarding this, please contact Kristen Scott.
