Meal Price
To offer meals with higher quality of food, increased scratch cooking, increased plant-based options and increased
fresh products, a two-tiered price system is utilized. The food service menus will continue to offer a variety of lunch
options at both prices. You will see two types of meals offered, the first is our DAILY meal and the second our RAM
meal. Signage will be in the cafeteria so students will recognize the differences. Parents will also see the DAILY and
RAM description listed on our menus, so they will know how much each meal will cost.

Free and Reduced Meals
If the cost of meals is a hardship for your family, an application for free or reduced meals is provided to each family
at the beginning of the school year. This form may also be obtained from the district office or online at any time
throughout the year. Complete the information and return the application to the school office. You will be notified of
the status of the application. Prior to your approval, you will be responsible for any cafeteria charges incurred.
Confidentiality is strictly adhered to and no distinction is made between those students who pay and those who do
not. One breakfast and one lunch meal per day is permitted as free or reduced. Second meals and snack items are
at the full meal price. Students receiving reduced-meal prices must place money in the meal account. Appropriate
behavior in the cafeteria is the expectation. The Pine-Richland Discipline Code will be followed to address any
inappropriate behavior.
