Breakfast and lunch menus for August & September were shared through ParentSquare and are linked on the BCSD website. If you didn't receive a message through ParentSquare today, please get signed up since we'll be using it for most of our communication this year.
There will be a change in lunch choices this year. Franklin students will have the option to choose pizza this year in place of the main entree every day. They'll have to choose one or the other so they aren't able to choose pizza AND the entree of the day. Please visit with your student about their lunch choices if you have a preference on which one they choose. Thank you!
