Food Service Information

Menus

Our School Lunch Program uses a computerized system providing each student with an identification (ID) number and account to pay for meals.

  • Advance payment into your student's account may be made weekly, monthly, annually or in other increments desired by the parent.
  • You may restrict your child’s use of this prepaid account to lunch trays only, or you may allow additional ala carte items (pretzels, bottled water, ice cream, etc.) to be charged in addition to the purchased tray.  
    • Please indicate your preference to the cashier at the time of prepayment and they will program the computer accordingly.
    • If you send a check with your child, please note on the check “meals only” or “meals and ala carte” as well as the student’s ID number.
  • Money may be added to the account Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM
  • While pre-payment is preferred, it is not mandatory, and students may pay cash on a daily basis.

All children eat at school.   If you wish to eat lunch with your child on special occasions, please make reservations with the cafeteria cashier at  (706) 545-6938.

Birthday treats, such as cupcakes, cookies, or ice cream, may be shared during lunchtime only if every child in the classroom is included.

Outstanding Lunchroom Charges

The procedure for handling outstanding lunchroom charges adopted by the Fort Benning School Board insures sponsors are informed of the status of their child(ren) lunch account as well as to enable the Fort Benning School System to collect these balances in a timely manner.   The procedure follows:

  1. A charge slip will be sent home with the child for each charge incurred.
  2. If the charge balance reaches $9.50 , we will attempt to contact the sponsor by telephone. If the sponsor cannot be contacted after three attempts, the manner will be referred to the Child Nutrition and/or Superintendent's Office.
  3. A letter will be mailed from the Superintendent requesting that the outstanding charges be paid.
  4. If the balance is not paid within 10 days, the sponsor's commanding officer will be contacted to request assistance.
  5. If the balance remains unpaid at the end of 30 days, the matter will be referred to the Garrison Commander's office.

After Lunch Recess

After students have completed their lunch and with weather permitting, students will have the option to go outside under supervision for a recess. The recess will be the last 15 minutes of their lunch period with the understanding they have completed their meal and have not violated any of the cafeteria rules.
