¡Noticias emocionantes: Oportunidad adicional de desayuno para los estudiantes de RFJSHS! Nos complace anunciar que a partir del lunes 7 de febrero, los estudiantes de RFJSHS tendrán una segunda oportunidad para desayunar cada día. Un desayuno "Grab & Go" estará disponible para los estudiantes de secundaria durante el período de transición entre la 1ª y 2ª hora, el cual se ha extendido a 9 minutos para acomodar esta opción.
El desayuno caliente tradicional seguirá sirviéndose antes de la primera campana cada mañana. El desayuno "Grab & Go" incluirá opciones convenientes y portátiles como muffins, panes para el desayuno, una opción de proteína (como queso), fruta y jugo o leche.
Por favor, tenga en cuenta:
Los estudiantes solo pueden recibir un desayuno por día.
Aquellos que ya hayan comido el desayuno caliente no serán elegibles para el desayuno "Grab & Go", pero pueden tomar una pieza de fruta.
Esperamos que esta opción adicional de desayuno ayude a garantizar que todos los estudiantes tengan la oportunidad de comenzar su día con la nutrición que necesitan.
Adjunto encontrarán el horario actualizado que refleja el período de transición extendido para el desayuno "Grab & Go".


Exciting News: Additional Breakfast Opportunity for RFJSHS Students!
We are pleased to announce that starting Monday, February 7, RFJSHS students will have a second opportunity to eat breakfast each day! A Grab & Go Breakfast will be available to Junior and Senior High students during the passing period between 1st and 2nd hour, which has been extended to 9 minutes to accommodate this option.
The traditional hot breakfast will still be served before the first bell each morning. The Grab & Go Breakfast will include convenient, portable items such as muffins, breakfast breads, a protein option (like cheese), fruit, and juice or milk.
Please note:
Students may only receive one breakfast per day.
Those who have already eaten the hot breakfast will not be eligible for Grab & Go but are welcome to take a piece of fruit.
We hope this additional breakfast option helps ensure all students have the opportunity to start their day with the nutrition they need!
Attached is the updated bell schedule reflecting the extended passing period for Grab & Go Breakfast.
