Program Information
Your child's school day just got
healthier! School lunches now
include more fruits, vegetables,
and whole grain-rich foods; only
fat-free or low-fat milk;
"right-size" meals with portions
designed for a child's age; and
less saturated fat, trans fat
and sodium. The changes in
school meals, the first in 15
years, are based on the latest
nutritional guidelines.
Here are some important facts
about the new school meals:
-
The new school lunch provides 1/3 of the average
daily calorie needs for kids by age.
-
Some highly active students, like athletes, may need
more calories. Some schools may offer second
helpings of fruits and vegetables and/or a second
carton of milk as part of the meal or as healthy ala
carte options. Schools can also operate after-school
snack and supper programs. Students and/or sports
teams can also bring food from home.
-
In practice, many students are being served the same
amounts of protein as before under the new
standards.
Your child can learn good habits
for life by making healthy food
choices and getting proper
exercise now. This year is a
transition year as schools
implement these new standards
and work together with parents,
to ensure that every child, in
every community across America,
has access to healthy and
nutritious meals. Encourage them
to try new foods and eat the
healthy food offered. Reinforce
healthy eating by offering
similar new foods at home.

Parent/Family are now
strongly encourages to make all
meal payments in advance in
order to avoid negative status.
A family food service account
will be allowed to charge you to
$50.00 “account cap”. Students
are not permitted to charge a la
carte items of their negative
balance is over the “account
cap”. After reaching the
“account cap”, the student’s
parent/family will receive a
direct notice of their negative
balance and immediate payment is
expected. If no response or
payment is received after 30
days of “account caps” reminder
notice; a formal letter, email,
and phone call will be directed
to the parent and building
principal’s attention for
further collection efforts.
Reminder, all accounts must be
paid by the end of the school
year. No charging will be
permitted the last 2 weeks of
school. All students will be
served a meal regardless of
their account balance status in
order to preserve the student’s
dignity and avoid
discrimination.
It has come to our
attention that parents using
non-supported versions of
Internet Explorer for cafeteria
online payments may encounter a
problem when selecting a credit
card expiration date via the
drop-down menu.
To complete checkout, you may
click on the non-working
drop-down menu and use the Up
and Down Arrow keys on your
keyboard to select a value. You
may also use a different browser
such as Firefox or Chrome to
complete this transaction.
To prevent this issue from
occurring in the future, we
highly recommend that you
upgrade your browser to a newer
version of Internet Explorer.
We apologize for any
inconvenience. Should you need
further assistance, please don't
hesitate to contact us.
