Food event requests and Catering

Food Event Request

It's crucial that all food-involved events held on EUSD property, or those paid with EUSD funds or sponsored by EUSD, fill out the Food Event Request. This process, accessible through our Freevo page, is a key step in ensuring compliance with EUSD guidelines and policies, thereby maintaining the integrity of our school's operations.
