Cafeteria

Each child is given a Free/Reduced Meal Application form at the beginning of the year. The decision to apply for free or reduced meal assistance is a personal family matter. Applications that are turned in are sent downtown to be screened to determine eligibility. After eligibility is determined, parents will receive in the mail a letter informing them whether their child is or is not approved for free or reduced meals. This process could take up to a week so please send money with your child until you are notified.

A hot lunch is served daily. Milk is served with each lunch. Milk may be purchased separately. If a student is not permitted to drink milk, he or she may be served juice if a statement from a doctor is sent to Mrs. Mumma, the Cafeteria Manager.

We are using a computerized number system. Each child receives a number, which they punch in at the register. The number remains the same throughout their elementary years. Please help your child memorize the number as it helps the speed of the lunch serving line.

You are now able to make payments on-line for your child's/childrens' meals. Please read this School Solutions Flyer for information and then go to the: School Payment Solutions website to actually make your payment.

You may also send in prepaid monies that must be enclosed in an envelope with the child’s name, assigned lunch number, teacher’s name, and the amount of money enclosed written on the outside of the envelope. If you are paying by check, all checks must include the assigned lunch number and the parent’s home phone number on the face of the check.

Doors open at 7:30 AM for breakfast. No one will be served breakfast after 7:50 AM in order to be on time for class. One charge is permitted and a child must repay the first charge before another meal can be charged.

All students will have 30 minutes for lunch. We operate a closed campus, which means that all students remain on campus during their lunch period.

Our cafeteria is open to parents who wish to eat with their child on special events such as birthdays or during our school lunch week. It is not open for regular food service to the community. If you plan to have breakfast or lunch with your child, please sign in at the front office and obtain a visitor's pass.

All Take-Out food is not permitted when visiting your child, nor are home baked goods for other students.

Cokes or other drinks requiring bottles or cans are not recommended in the cafeteria. Students are not allowed to use the machines in the teachers’ lounge or the cafeteria. We ask that when you pack your child’s lunch that you remember to put in all the necessary utensils. The cafeteria is not permitted to supply napkins and utensils to students who have not purchased lunch.

Please teach your child how to open the things you send in their lunch. Try to use this rule: If your child cannot open it, do not send it!

The cafeteria is a place where good manners and social skills should be developed and practiced. Each student is expected to practice the rules of good behavior they use at home with their family. Some simple rules of courteous behavior that make the lunch period pleasant and relaxed are:
  1. Observing good dining room manners at the table
  2. Leaving the table and surrounding area clean and orderly
  3. Properly disposing of trash
  4. Using “quiet” voices
  5. Lining up quietly

BIRTHDAY RECOGNITIONS

Birthdays may be recognized during your child’s lunch time in the cafeteria. A store bought item such as cupcakes or cookies may be provided to children. Balloons, clowns, hats, face painting, etc. are not permitted.

Note: Birthday recognitions may not be scheduled during instructional class times. A birthday recognition as described above may be conducted during snack time or be part of an approved holiday party.
