- As stated in the newsletter this month, As of June 1st there will be no hot water available for students lunches. Here is the information from the newsletter.
Starting in June, we will no longer provide hot/boiling water for soups in the lunchroom
program at Vista Heights School. Having a hot water kettle causes a safety concern for
staff and students. We suggest that you send the soup in a thermos for your child.
Remember that if you would like a Brown Bag lunch provided for your child you can call the
school and speak with Mrs. McCrae. It is a service offered to all of our students.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to talk to me.
Thanks!
Ms. Toor
