Parents may leave items in the office on the counter for students. Parents are to complete the form available on the counter. You can notify your student's teacher by email if the student needs the item before the end of school. Students are able to check in the office at nutrition and lunch to see if you have delivered their item. We will not be able to disrupt the classrooms to notify your child or deliver items to the room. An announcement will be made at the end of the day for any items left on the counter. Orchard Hills is not responsible for items left on the counter.

For your convenience, we have a lunch cart for middle school lunches and crates for elementary school lunches located outside the office door. Be sure to put your child's name on their lunch. Please be sure to bring your student's lunch at least 10 minutes before lunch so your student will be able to enjoy lunch. We roll the cart onto the campus at lunch. Have a backup plan with your child should they forget their lunch. They can check to see if you left a lunch. If not, they can buy a lunch in the cafeteria. Orchard Hills is not responsible for any lunch left on the cart.

MESSAGES FOR STUDENTS

The school office will not interrupt important class time to pass along messages to students. Parents have the option to do the following:

• Please email one of your student's teacher to try to reach the student.
• Please call the office and the office staff will relay the message to the student at the end of the school day.

Please note that we do have Orchard Hills students that have Nut Allergies.

• Our cafeteria and vending machine does not serve any items that contain nuts.
• We have a lunch table designated as "nut free".
• We strongly encourage parents to avoid sending nutrition and lunch items containing nuts to school with their students.
• Please note that this notice includes ALL categories of nuts, not just peanuts.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Due to the importance of student safety, students may NOT be on campus prior to 7:15 a.m. Gates will be locked until 7:15 a.m. Students may enter the campus at 7:15 a.m. and need to go to the lunch benches and wait there until 7:40 a.m. At 7:40 a.m. a bell will ring and students may then go to their locker, enter the quad, or line up by their classroom. We appreciate your cooperation. This procedure is for the safety of your child and our entire school community.

The National School Lunch Program is a federally-funded program that assists schools and other agencies in providing lunches to children at reasonable prices. In addition to financial assistance, the program provides donated commodity foods to help reduce lunch program costs. The United States Department of Agriculture is responsible for overseeing the program nationally. In California, the program is administered by the California Department of Education’s Nutrition Services Division.Students will be able to purchase lunch and milk at all schools in the Tustin Unified School District. Breakfast and lunch prices will increase 25 cents for the new school year, according to Nutrition Services Director Teresa Squibb.

“It’s the first price increase in three years even though food costs have increased five to seven percent each year,” Squibb said.
