Meal Charging Guidelines

MEAL CHARGING GUIDELINES

 

Any students, grades K-6, will be allowed to charge the cost of three meals (breakfast and lunch each counting as a meal) if funds are not available in their meal account.  Charging will only be allowed for a complete reimbursable meal; no Ala Carte items can be charged. (Extra milk and snacks are considered Ala Carte item.)

After the limit of three meals is reached, an alternate meal of a cheese sandwich and milk will be given to the student.  Weekly low balance reminders will be distributed to the K-6 students.  It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of their fund balance. Parents may sign up for Low Balance e-mail notification by going to www.mymealtime.com and opt in to receive notification.

 

No charging will be allowed at the High School or Middle School

 

Charging of full meals will be discontinued May 1st, each year.  Parents should clear any negative balances by the end of the school year.

 

All charges will be recorded in the point of sale system.  When a deposit is made into the student’s account all charges will be satisfied first and the remainder of the deposit will be posted to the student’s account for their use.
