We offer Breakfast and Lunch. Breakfast for students K-12 is $1.60. Lunch for Students K-12 is $3.00. We have free/reduced applications for alternate pricing. Reduced Breakfast K-12 is $0.30. Reduced Lunch K-12 is $0.40. A student receiving free/reduced benefits must take a NSLP recognized meal to have milk free. Milk, alone, is $0.75 and students must have cash or a positive account balance to purchase. All prices are subject to change based on State Regulations. An amendment will be sent out to all parents if these prices change.

Both Cafeterias are on a computerized system. Each student has a debit account. Every student is given a P.I.N. (Personal Identification Number) to access his/her debit account. The number will stay the same until the student graduates. At mealtime, the student will key in his/ her P.I.N. number and the meal purchase will be deducted from his/her account balance.

Students must have a positive account balance or cash to purchase extra meal or snack items. Students K-5 must have a note from a parent sent in, stating said student is allowed to use their account for extra meal or snack items. The note is good for the current school year.

When a student has a negative balance, a reimbursable meal will be provided to the student; however, no ala carte items will be allowed to be purchased. Emails are sent out when an account is $5.00 or below, as a courtesy. Pursuant to Board Policy 8500 – Food Service Program, significant negative lunch account balances should be pursued for collection, which may include, but not be limited to contact by email, phone, or letter, as well as formal collection efforts. A lunch account becomes inactive at the time a student withdraws from enrollment from the school corporation. Positive balances from a graduated student’s account will automatically be transferred to sibling account(s). Refunds of any positive balance remaining in a student’s inactive account may be requested in writing within 30 days from the date of withdrawal. Any request for a refund must document entitlement to the refund. If no valid refund request is made, a positive balance may be transferred to the Cafeteria Donation Fund.

Payments can be made by cash, check or online at www.myschoolbucks.com. Even if you do not wish to pay online, setting up an account with my school bucks is encouraged, as you can see what your child is eating and check their account balance. Cash or check should come to school in an envelope marked with students first and last name. There will be a pink drop box in the elementary cafeteria that will be checked daily or they can give it to their teacher or a cashier in the elementary cafeteria.
