Nourishing Minds, Fueling Futures: Our School Meal Program
At our school, we believe that well-fed students are better prepared to learn and thrive. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive meal program that goes beyond just filling stomachs – we’re committed to providing nutritious, balanced meals that meet Federal guidelines and cater to diverse tastes.
🍎 Breakfast of Champions Start the day right with our nutritionally balanced breakfast options
- Choice of fresh milk
- Seasonal fruits
- 100% fruit juices
- Delicious entrées (most containing 2 components)
To enjoy our breakfast at the standard price, students need only select a fruit and one additional component. For example, an Egg & Cheese Biscuit paired with crisp Apple Slices makes for a perfect breakfast!
🥗 Lunch to Power Through the Day Our lunch menu is designed to provide energy and essential nutrients:
- Choice of fresh milk
- Variety of fruits
- Selection of vegetables
- Tasty entrée options (most containing 2 components)
To receive lunch at the standard price, students must include either a fruit or vegetable in their selection. For instance, a classic Cheeseburger with Milk and Apple Slices constitutes a complete lunch.
HOW DOES THE STUDENT ACCESS THEIR MEAL ACCOUNT AT THE SCHOOL?
All students will receive a personal identification number (PIN) for their meal account from the food service manager at school start up. This can range from a three to five digit number. Your student should memorize this number and not share with any other students as this number is directly tied to their personal account. Your student will use this PIN number until he/she leaves that school. When the student moves to a new school within the District, a new number is assigned. Student Identification scanners are used at some of the elementary, middle, and high schools. Student ID badges with bar codes are scanned to access the student’s account. Please check with your student.
CEP (Community Eligibility Program)
All students receive one breakfast and one lunch per day at no charge.
MEAL CHARGES:
If your student does incur a charge, please check your elementary student’s pockets or backpack for note. Middle and High School students are verbally instructed by the cashier to bring in money the next day.
PREPAYMENT FOR FOOD ITEMS:
Prepayments to your child’s meal account with your VISA, MasterCard, or Discover credit card can be made. Log onto PayPAMS.com or call 1-888-994-5100. Payment can also be received by the food service manager in form of check or cash. If check is used, please indicate students’ name and student personal identification number (PIN) on the check in the memo section. Prepayment is encouraged as it assists in movement of students through the line.
FOOD ALLERGIES:
If your child has food allergies, please provide the school nurse with a physician’s note indicating the allergies and the appropriate food substitutions that are recommended by the physician or medical authority.
PARENTAL RESTRICTIONS:
Restrictions can be placed on your student’s meal account. Once restrictions are placed, they cannot be removed unless the parent provides the food service manager with a note asking for the restrictions to be removed.
COMMUNICATION WITH THE FOOD SERVICE MANAGER:
The food service manager is on site prior to school starting to begin breakfast meal preparation and departs from the school after completion of lunch. Inquires should be made prior to meal service time or immediately after meal service. Please check with your school to determine the best time to contact the food service manager in the event that you have questions.
REFUNDS:
Refunds under $5 are addressed at a school level and require a written request. Refunds over $5 are addressed at district level, please contact Jessica McQuaig at: [email protected]
ACCOUNT BALANCES:
Student account balances can be obtained on PayPAMS.com at no charge to you. Your student’s account balance, either positive or negative, from the previous school year will roll into the new school year unless a refund has been requested.
HAVING LUNCH WITH YOUR CHILD:
We encourage parents to come and have lunch with their students. The procedure is very easy:
- Sign in at the Front Office and receive your badge. To get the badge, you must have been cleared through the “Keep n Track” system.
- Retrieve your child from the cafeteria, and then proceed to the screened in patio.
- Return your child to the cafeteria when your lunch is finished, and sign out in the Front Office
For security, we do ask that if someone other than the parent will be having lunch with the student that the parent writes a quick note addressed to the office letting us know who is coming in, and that they have your permission to eat lunch with your student. Just send the note in with your student that morning. If you realize later in the day that someone has time to come in and have lunch with your student, you can call the office at (904) 547-7840.
