Students must bring their own lunch every day, along with snacks and enough water to last ALL day.
** Rising Stars does NOT provide water, snacks nor lunches.**
There is no restaurant directly near the premises. MAP HERE
No one under 14 may leave unless it's with a direct sibling, or if they ask an older teen/licensed driver to pick them up something.
Those 14 and older, may walk to only these closest restaurants (Cloveberry, Subway, Asian Island), but in groups of 3 or more. For the safety and insurance reasons, individuals walking out alone will not be tolerated.
We may have pizza Fridays, but that will be announced the day before and kids can bring money to order.
