Students that did not renew their Free and Reduced Lunch paperwork will fall off of that list on Thursday. Lunch charges will go into place at that time. Please remember that students are only allowed to charge 15 days (approximately $78) without payment. After that time, students will receive a sack lunch.

If you need assistance with applying for the Free and Reduced Lunch Program, please contact the front office. We are happy to help.

Letter sent earlier in the year

We are excited about a new year and want your child to get off to a great start. All District campuses have breakfast and lunch available to students. To take advantage of meals at school you must: The District offers students breakfast and lunch at school. If you want your child to access this service, you will need to:

• Deposit and maintain funds in your child’s school lunch account through My School Bucks. (Please click to access My School Bucks)

• If you qualify, complete, on-line, a Free/Reduced Lunch Application. (Please click to access the application)

• If your child’s meal account balance is insufficient or depleted, he or she may “charge” up to 15-days before meal service is modified or stopped depending on the age of your child.

• Once a student has charged 10 times, a school administrator will contact you to make you aware of the situation and discuss options on how to clear your child’s charges, how to use My School Bucks, directions on completing a Free/Reduced application, or will consider any special circumstances. You will also receive notifications through Parent Access and email.

• Once the 15-day limit is exceeded and the account has not been replenished students elementary and intermediate school will receive a breakfast of milk and cereal and a sandwich and milk for lunch. Students in junior high and high school will not receive a meal. If there is an extenuating circumstance, contact your student’s counselor or principal to discuss options that may be available.

Please contact us it you need help registering for Free and Reduced Lunch.

We are looking forward to a great year.
