How does a food service account work?

• Student is enrolled in school
• Student brings money to cashier
• Meal account is opened for student and money is deposited into the student’s account
• With money in account, the student may purchase meals
• When account balance is close to zero – cashier advises student to bring money to deposit in account
• If student brings money – there is no disruption in purchasing meals
• If student doesn’t bring money – student is not allowed to purchase meals until money is deposited in account.

• Students may purchase items for cash without opening an account.
• Free or Reduced price meals are available at our schools.
• If you need meal assistance please fill out:
  • Income Guidelines (2010-2011) 
    
  • Letter to Parent/Guardian (2010-2011)
    
  • Free or Reduced Meal Application (2010-2011) (Only one application needs to be completed per household and returned to your child’s school cashier or our district office.)
• Important Note: Applications cannot be completed prior to July. This is because the income reported on the application must be reflective of income earned during the 2009-10 school year. The school year is defined as July 1 through June 30. To be approved for benefits in the 2010-11 school year, income on the application also must report income earned in July or after.
