Bayshore Elementary to Offer Universal Breakfast in the Classroom
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
Beginning the first day of school, Bayshore Elementary will offer a complimentary breakfast in the classroom to all students. This will replace the traditional breakfast served in the cafeteria. What is universal breakfast in the classroom (UBIC)? Instead of offering breakfast in the cafeteria, a complimentary breakfast will be served to students in the classroom 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the instructional day. How does UBIC work at Bayshore? When students arrive before 7:40 a.m. whether by bus or by parent drop-off, students will report to the cafeteria or gym. A teacher will dismiss the students to the classroom where breakfast will be served. The breakfast is complimentary, but the student must choose at least two of the three items to receive it at no charge. If the student does not choose at least two items, he/she will be charged for the selected item. The teacher will use a roster to record the meals taken which will then be returned to the cafeteria manager. Call the cafeteria manager at 281-604-4679 if you have questions about what your child received that day. Will the breakfast menu be the same as the district breakfast offerings? No, the BIC menu is similar but not the same. The menu will be sent home with students and posted on the district website. Are lunches complimentary also? No, only breakfast. My child was receiving free or reduced meals last year. Do I still need to fill out a free/reduced meal application for this year? Yes, you must fill out a new 2012-13 application to continue to receive free or reduced priced meals. Please submit applications as quickly as possible to ensure a continuation of benefits. Will I be able to eat breakfast with my student in the classroom? No, because the students and teachers will be preparing to begin the instructional day. You are welcome to join your child during lunch and lunches can be purchased for $3.00.
