Ramadan (Feb. 18-March 19)
Complete Google Form For Students Who are Fasting
For the month of Ramadan, Sangster will provide a comfortable and quiet space for students who are fasting during lunch as an alternative to the cafeteria.
Please use this form to request that your student spend their lunch time in a designated quiet area. This space will allow them to rest, read, or engage in quiet activities in an area that is supervised.
We are planning to offer this space from February 18 - March 19, 2026. If different dates are needed, please add information about your student's needs to the notes section of the form.

Meal kits are charged just like school meals and include the same healthy, fresh food from the school menu.
