First, whether students are ordering for themselves or for a group of friends, often the order is placed within the classroom hence disrupting their teacher and going against our &#8220;phones off and away during the day&#8221; policy.  Second, the delivery service arrives at PCMS often without last names which can create a time consuming and frustrating task for our office support team. Third, constant deliveries from an outside establishment creates an inequity or exclusion situation amongst our students which may cause a need for students to meet with their counselor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We know that from time-to-time guardians will forget to send their student to school with a lunch. If you are not able to deliver the meal, we highly encourage students to utilize our onsite cafeteria even if there isn&#8217;t money in their account, they can go through food line and their account will be charged. Please review this option with your student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Girls Basketball<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Girls Basketball season is about to begin with practices starting after school next week.
