Cafeteria Policies 
Breakfast and lunch are served daily at school. Menus are sent home monthly. Breakfast is served from 8:00 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. at a cost of $.85 for full-paying students. The full pay price for lunch is $2.00. Each student is assigned a special number, which they will enter into the computer system when they receive their meal each day. Meal purchases are automatically deducted from a child’s account at time of purchase.
The Child Nutrition Program is operated on a pre-pay computerized accounting system. There should not be any student charging. Parents/guardians are responsible for keeping accounts current. If the balance reaches $5.00, an attempt to contact the sponsor will be made by telephone. If the sponsor cannot be contacted after three attempts, a letter will be mailed requesting that the outstanding charges be paid. If the balance is not paid within five (5) working days, the assistance of the superintendent and the sponsor’s military commander may be sought.
You may call for an account balance at any time. Money may be sent with the student in an envelope with the student’s name and teacher, or parents may come to the cafeteria to make payments. Please do NOT come to make a payment during serving hours. Menus are distributed to students once a month and are published on the website.
Parents/guardians making payments for more than one student in the family should indicate the names of the students and teachers. Please write separate checks for each school, made payable to “Dependents School Lunch Fund." Personal checks submitted for payment that have insufficient funds will be charged a $30.00 minimum service charge and will be collected through CheckCare collections agency.
Please notify the Child Nutrition Program if you have a child beginning school this year whose sibling was in the Free/Reduced Lunch Program last year. Free/Reduced Lunch Applications for those children who were in the system last year must be renewed each year within the first thirty (30) calendar days of the school year. Parents may pick up the free or reduced meal applications from the school office. Once completed, please return to the office, so it may be forwarded to the Child Nutrition Office. The application may take up to 10 school days to go into effect.
