Cafeteria Services - A La Carte vs. Meal Pricing
|
Delone Catholic will no longer be participating in the Federal lunch program, which has resulted in a change to our services and prices. Note that there are now two lunch lines: one for a la carte items and one for the lunch meal. If your students are using the a la carte line, they will be charged per item. If they use the meal line, they will be charged $4.35 for the meal. Your students have been made aware of the difference in pricing with the two lunch lines.
Please visit the school website under Quick Links/Parents/Cafeteria Services to view a complete price list, Cafeteria Policy and lunch menus. Cafeteria Payment Forms are available on the PlusPortals in the Cafeteria Services folder under School Links and Forms.

SportsLeader Virtue of the Week
|
One pillar of the SportsLeader program is a weekly virtue that we incorporate into our athletic practices and throughout our school community. Every week, we will share them here to encourage the students to take the virtue into their homes as well!
This week our virtue theme is being ENTHUSIASTIC - The strength to lift up yourself and others even when faced with difficulties.
Being ENTHUSIASTIC is so contagious! It lifts up everybody on the team, classmates in school and our family especially when they are feel down or depressed.
