Lunch Accounts
Parents, we still have 5 weeks of school until summer vacation. Please ensure that your students have enough lunch
money in their account to get them through the rest of the year. Lunch money left in their account will carry over to
next year even if they are heading off to another District 20 school. To check your student’s balance, please log on to
payforit.net or send an email to jung.thomas@asd20.org.

insights and suggestions for class placement considerations for their student(s). We will not be able to honor specific
teacher requests as the principal, with staff input, will make placement decisions for each student. Forms will be
available in the front office after Friday, April 17th, and are due back by May 4th.
