Food Service Policy - Parents are responsible for providing breakfast, snack, and lunch either by sending these meals in with the student or providing funds for student to purchase such meals. Students and school staff will not be allowed to charge for any food service purchases. All food service purchases are cash only.
Elementary students without a lunch will be provided an emergency lunch consisting of peanut butter or alternative sandwich meal. Up to five (5) emergency lunch meals will be provided to elementary students. The price of each emergency meal will be charged to the student’s account at the same price as that of a regular meal as required by state regulations. Parents are responsible for paying the cost of the emergency meals. Elementary student report cards and other records may be held until payment of the outstanding food service balance is received.
The District is not obligated to provide a free meal for students unless the student has qualified per the federal free eligibility requirements. The District encourages all parents in financial need to apply for free or reduced meals as shown below.
