FAQ's
If my child was approved last year for Free or Reduced lunch,
is it safe to assume they automatically qualify this year?
No, a new Free/Reduced Price School Meals Family Application
must be completed and turned into our office each year to
determine eligibility.If you
child was approved for Free or Reduced lunch, am I required to
turn in the bi-weekly lunch coupons? Yes, our kitchen
staff uses the lunch coupons to determine the meals counts. If
lunch coupons are not turned in on time your child will
receive an emergency lunch for the duration of the current
coupon.
Do I need to fill out a separate
lunch coupon for each child, or may I put them all on one
form? We require a separate form for each child as they
are calculated on a class/grade basis.
If I have paid for a lunch and my
child does not receive it due to a student activity or
fieldtrip, may I receive a credit? Unfortunately, we do
not offer credits for any purposes other than an extended
illness. Please try and plan accordingly. If you know your
child will be out due to illness for an extended period of
time, please contact the Middle school (847-9003) immediately.
Please note that all credits are at the discretion of the
Lunch Program.
In the event that my child forgets to
turn in a lunch coupon, can my child still receive the school
lunch? The kitchen staff pre-plans how much food to cook
based on the lunch coupons they receive; therefore, we may not
have enough of the regular planned meal to feed additional
children. Our policy is to serve an emergency lunch to
children who have not turned in a lunch coupon.
What does an emergency lunch consist
of? Our emergency lunch consists of a cheese sandwich,
fruit/vegetable, and white milk.
How much does an emergency lunch cost
and how des the billing process work? We charge $3.00 for
an emergency lunch and families are billed weekly.
