Cost of Meals Breakfast: $.75 for all grades Lunch $1.50 for all grades Reduced meal prices will remain at $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch. The cafeteria serves breakfast and lunch. Breakfast starts at 7:45 a.m. each morning. Students should not arrive before 7:45 a.m. for breakfast since staff members are not present to supervise before that time. Students who walk to school or are dropped off are to enter through the main entrance at the front of the school. We welcome visitors in the cafeteria for breakfast and lunch. Guest tables are available for students with visitors. Lunch is a duty free time for classroom teachers. School staff members supervise students while in the cafeteria. To insure an appropriate mealtime environment, it is essential that students are well behaved and mannerly. Students should eat first, then talk quietly to the students seated closest to them and follow the instructions of the staff members on duty in the cafeteria. Children may choose to bring their lunch to school. A carton of milk may be purchased from the a la carte menu for 35 cents. Breakfast and lunch may be paid daily or prepaid on a weekly or longer basis. If a child is prepaying for breakfast or lunch, we ask that the money be brought to the cafeteria collection clerk before 9:30 a.m. to insure proper credit. If advance payment is sent to school with your child, please enclose payment in an envelope with the student’s name, classroom teachers name and amount enclosed written on the outside. If a child does not have money for breakfast or lunch they will be allowed to charge for one day, but no longer. A student charging a meal will be given a computer generated charge slip notifying the parent/guardian of the charged meal. Payment for overdue charges must be paid prior to the student receiving another meal. We request that the money be sent to school the next day. A la carte items (including ice cream) may be purchased. However, if a child owes money for charged meals they may not purchase a la carte items until after all charges have been paid. Menus are published in the Fayetteville Observer, the Carolina Flyer, on the school website and posted in each classroom. Free and reduced applications are available in the school office. You may apply at any time during the school year. Eligibility for free and reduced meals is based on family income and size of household. Any change in either family income or size of household could result in a change in status. The Fort Bragg Schools Community Superintendents Office processes applications and will contact you concerning the status of your application. Glass containers, food from “Fast Food” restaurants and soft drinks are not permitted in the cafeteria. Guests may join students for lunch. Please sit at the designated guest tables with your child. One invited friend from the classroom may join guests and their child. Adults may purchase lunch in the cafeteria at a la carte prices. If you visit you child for lunch, please sign in at the office and obtain a visitor’s badge before proceeding to the cafeteria.
