Lunch account notification collection procedures

1. A minimum deposit of $25 is required to activate a family lunch account at the beginning of the school year, however larger payments are encouraged. If a deposit has not been received, a family lunch account will not be activated and no meals may be purchased for a student using a family lunch account.

3. Students in grades 4K-12 with a family lunch account balance of zero will not be served a school meal unless the student brings daily meal payment when coming through the cafeteria line, the ________________________________________________________________ procedures, the family reinstates a positive minimum $10 balance to the family lunch account, or prior arrangements are made through the building principal.

Students will still have access to food service programs as outlined in item (3) above.

5. In order to reactivate the family lunch account, any balance due must be paid in full and a minimum payment of $25 be made to the family lunch account.
