Parents are welcome to have lunch with their children. Parents are not allowed to bring food that is meant to be shared with other students or whole classes. All visitors must sign in through the office and obtain a photo ID badge prior to going to the cafeteria. Parents may wait in designated areas outside of the cafeteria until their child’s scheduled lunch time.

We encourage parents and others to visit Casis and to participate in their children’s learning. We value parent engagement and always want visitors to feel welcome. In order to protect the security of District students and staff, the learning environment and students’ privacy rights, follow the general security guidelines to keep students and staff safe, as well as to minimize interruptions to instruction time. Visit AISD's Emergency Management to learn about districtwide safety protocols.

The lunch schedule can be found on the Lunch Schedule page. Please note that all campus visitors will be required to provide an acceptable form of ID at the front office before joining their child for lunch. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to do so as the lunch time tends to get pretty busy! Before visiting your child for lunch, please review our Campus Visitor Protocols.

You can find the lunch menu at the AISD Nutrition and Food Services page and you can either fund your child’s account by bringing cash to the cafeteria or by providing funds electronically at www.schoolcafe.com. You need to set up an account and ask your child’s teacher what your student ID is before enrolling.
