NUTRITION SERVICES

In the High School the dining area is located in the Commons. As participants in the National School Lunch
Program, each lunch served must include five components: a protein source, bread, a vegetable, a fruit and
eight ounces of milk. Choices of entrees are available each day, including both hot and cold selections. There
are also a variety of vegetables, fruits and cold milks from which to choose. At the High School at least five
components are offered each day, however your child may choose as little as three foods to complete a meal.
Our schools also offer a variety of a la carte items for sale including portioned baked snacks, soft pretzels,
bagels, juices, fresh baked cookies, chips, waters and alternate non-carbonated beverages ranging in prices
from $.50 and up. Lunch costs start at $3.00. An additional entree can be purchased for $2.45.

Students will have to have monies on account in order to purchase lunches and ala carte items. If a negative
balance greater than $5.00 is incurred, the student will be offered an alternate meal of a cheese sandwich,
milk, and fruit and you will receive a reminder call from the E-connect system regarding your low account
status. No ala carte items can be purchased without available money on account. We urge you to take
full advantage of this system by placing money into your child’s account per your discretion on a weekly,
monthly, or annual basis. Monies deposited will be posted within 24 hours for purchasing. Should you ever
want to access your child’s account to verify his/her purchases you may sign up for
www.myschoolaccount.com. This service allows for online payments, a 30-day view of purchases, as well as
email balance notification.

Please remember, we will not be accepting money during the lunch lines to decrease the amount
of time students wait in line and increase the amount of time they have to eat. Students must know
their ID number and will be asked to provide it at the point of sale where a cashier can verify the
student’s account with a photo match for account security.

Please refer to our web page www.hudson.k12.oh.us under the Nutrition Services link, located on the left
side of the page beneath the calendar/athletic tab, for our daily menu specials, ala carte offerings, online
accounting services, and financial assistance application. You may contact the Nutrition Service Department
with questions at 330.653.1203.

The vending machines are only available to students during their lunch period, before or after school.

PARENT CONTACT INFORMATION

review and update this information. To update our auto-call system for families to receive calls regarding
important information which includes announcements and school closings click here to update Blackboard
Connect.

PARENT DROP OFF/PICK UP

For safety reasons, please drop off students adjacent to the curb—not in an outside lane. From
observations, traffic seems to flow better when folks use their turn signals. In the morning, vehicles entering
the front of the building have a choice of either lane—and there’s plenty of room to get over to the right
once you’re up by the front entrance. Again, drop students at the curb—too often, drivers are looking toward
their drop-off instead of looking ahead as they pull out—and we want to avoid car- pedestrian accidents at
