MESSAGES

We will do our best to see that you receive important messages. However, if you forget your lunch--
check in the office during your scheduled lunch period. We cannot deliver lunches. If you forget
anything else at home and call someone to bring it, you must pick it up in the office yourself.

PLEASE DO NOT HAVE PARENTS TEXT OR CALL YOU AT SCHOOL.

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 depending on location. Lunch costs start
at $3.00. An additional entre can be purchased for $2.45. A la carte items are available for $.50 and
up.

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.

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