Food service programs are required by law to be self sufficient. Students are allowed up to three lunch charges.

The cafeteria staff will notify the parent/guardian in writing after three charges are received OR within five school days from the date of the last charge.

If charges are not paid within two weeks of the parent notification, the following steps will be taken:

• The student may lose meal-charging privileges for the remainder of the school year.
   

• Elementary school student parents/guardians will be notified in writing prior to the loss of privileges.
   

• If an elementary student who has lost their privileges does not have meal money, the parent/guardian will be immediately notified by phone. If parental contact is not made, a basic meal will be provided and a charge issued.
   

• Any student with unpaid charges will have their snack bar/vending machine privileges suspended until payment is made in full.
   

• No charges will be permitted at the elementary or the high school following the second Monday in May.
   

• Unpaid outstanding charges may result in the loss of other privileges.
