Cafeteria Hot Lunch Program - August 2010
Cafeteria Hot Lunch Program
The school cafeteria’s financial operations (on a
self-supporting plan) include expenses such as salaries, utilities,
insurance, garbage service, food and milk, which are not covered by
government subsidy. In
order to continue the operation of this program at our school we
need your help as parents to encourage your children to eat a
nutritiously balanced hot meal daily.
The Hot Lunch Program receives no financial assistance from
the church or the school, so this program is totally dependent upon
the number of children that eat daily.
The government provides some financial assistance and some
assistance in commodities which is how we keep the amount of the
lunches at a low price.
Please support the hot lunch
program. Thank you.
Lunch Accounts
Monthly menus are distributed to the youngest
child in school. A
Type-A Elementary Lunch is served using the United States Department
of Agriculture guidelines.
Each student is provided with a lunch/milk debit
card. Parents are
encouraged to deposit sufficient funds to cover the cost of their
child(ren)’s lunch or milk for the year.
Please send checks
in an envelope marked
“Lunch Money” with your child’s name and grade on it.
Hot Lunch (includes milk) is
$2.25 daily and milk is
25¢ a carton for students
bringing cold lunch.
When your child uses his/her card for lunch or milk that amount is
deducted from the child’s account.
Lost or damaged lunch account cards will be replaced at a
cost of $2.00. If the
student’s lunch account balance falls below $0.00 a notice will be
sent home. Balances are
usually checked twice a week.
Please check your
child’s book bags for these notices, as this is the procedure for
notifying parents of balances.
Any remaining balance in the account at the end of the school
year will be carried over to the next year.
Credit balances from graduates will be transferred to the
next oldest sibling. Any
unpaid negative balance at the end of the school year will result in
the student’s report card being held.

from the reimbursable school meal) shall be well-regulated and

Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Program
Families interested in the Federal Government

Per policy memo SP 28-2010 from the United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA), in making eligibility
determinations for school year 2010-2011, schools and
institutions should utilize the current 2009-2010 IEGs to make
such determinations until further notice. Such determinations
shall be effective for the certification period set forth in the
applicable program’s regulations (e.g., for school programs,
from the date of approval through the remainder of the current
school year and up to 30 operating days of the following school
year).
