Emergency Kitchen Workers Needed: Parents, there are days when we have a need for emergency workers in the kitchen. Sick days, appointments and an occasional vacation day leave us searching for a “sub” for a day here and there. Would you consider being on an emergency list for days like these? The commitment would be to work from 11:30-1pm. You would receive a complimentary meal and a $15 credit to your child’s lunch account. You can always say “no” when we call. Thanks for considering. If you are interested please contact Maggie Reinke at mreinke@unitychristian.net.
Attendance: Parents, please remember to send an email to koetken@unitychristian.net or call the Unity office at (712)737-4114 if your student will be late for school, needs to leave school early or will be absent. You will receive attendance-related alerts throughout the day when your student is marked absent. The office will reconcile reasons and attendance toward the end of each day.
Unity Family Tree in Courtyard: We would love to add pictures of our new families at Unity Christian to our family tree located in the Courtyard. We also know some of you have taken new family pictures and would like to update yours on the tree. Please send your family pictures to aobbink@unitychristian.net along with the names of your family members. Thank you!

Lunch Pre-Ordering Guidelines and Questions:
The cut off to pre-order meals is 8:30 AM on the day of the meal. This will aid in ordering and preparing the right amount of food.
If your child is not present due to illness or field trip, your account will not be charged.
Your student cannot pre-order food. It is a parent-only task.
What if I/we forget to pre-order or my child changes their mind?
We will make a limited number of additional meals each day. A la carte food items will be available.
What is the “Lunch Box” option?
“Lunch Box” is a cold meal option similar to a bag lunch - chips, Uncrustable, fruit, milk and dessert.
Do we have to know if our child is ordering additional food when we pre-order?
No, we are just preparing for the main meal.
