Welcome New Parent Volunteer!

A warm welcome to Orchestra Parent Leslie Shivamber who helped at 2 concession stand nights last week! Leslie jumped right into Concession window sales and was a huge help. Thank you Leslie!

Helpful information:

Teacher Email:
Do you know all of your child’s teacher’s email addresses? Here is the teacher email contact web page on the CBHS website: http://www.cbhs.brevard.k12.fl.us/faculty.php

Lunch Money Alternative:
I have been using https://www.mylunchmoney.com/ to manage my son’s lunch money. They provide a weekly summary report of what he is ordering from the cafeteria. I prefer not dealing with cash for his lunch each day, writing checks or worrying that his school lunch account is going to run out without notice. This online program allows you to charge money into a lunch account.
Here is a quote from the Lunch Money website explaining their function:
“Since 2002, http://www.mylunchmoney.com/ has benefited parents and districts nationwide. Our mission is to provide a quality service to all our customers and we are proud to announce the addition of new and exciting features such as viewing student purchases and spending history, low balance email notifications, the ability to set daily/weekly spending limits for your child and the capability to set your child up for meals only or a-la-carte. At School-Link Technologies we want to make life easier for parents who don’t want to worry about lunch money. We are deeply committed to making your experience with http://www.mylunchmoney.com/ a pleasant one.”
“Thanks for the info, and for a fabulous program!!!! You took the stress out of school lunches.”-- Yamel L., Seminole County, FL
