Meal No Charge Policy

Procedures for Elementary Students without Money
When students arrive at the cashier's station without money, we have consistent procedures to deal with the situation so our customers know what to expect. We will serve your student a meal until the balance of the account is in arrears. At the time your student's account is negative, we ask that you send money or a lunch with your student until the account is current. Procedures are in place to ensure that parents and students are aware of the status of the meal account. These procedures are explained below.

FIRST TIME STUDENT BALANCE REACHES ZERO
If a student arrives at the cashier's station with no balance and no money and it is the first time, we allow them to eat the regular lunch and explain that next time it occurs that they will not receive their choice of lunch, but receive the available entree with their lunch instead. There is a reminder system in place at your school (hand stamp, reminder note and/or call home). The student is charged for every lunch they receive.

STUDENT HAS A ZERO OR NEGATIVE BALANCE AND NO MONEY
When this happens, the student is reminded of the consequences of no money in their account. This day they are served a complete meal, but will only be able to have the available cook's choice with their lunch. The student is again reminded (hand stamp, reminder note and/or call home). STUDENTS ARE CHARGED FOR A LUNCH EACH TIME. When the student incurs a negative balance in their account, the parent/guardian is expected to send a cold lunch until the account is current.

State law does not allow for the gifting of meals. Your cooperation in keeping your child's account up to date is greatly appreciated and helps us to continue the policy of allowing students to eat when the account is in arrears and allows time for the parent/guardian to remedy the situation.
