Lunch Payments can be made in one of two ways: (1) online using Lunchbox/Efunds Payment Program or (2) by sending payment in a sealed envelope.
To be sure accounts are properly credited, payments made by sealed envelope should include the following information: (a) child’s name, (b) lunch account number, and (c) teacher’s name on the outside of the envelope (see example below).
HELPFUL HINT: Many parents use junk mail return envelopes. What a great way to recycle and keep from having to buy envelopes!
Don’t worry if you don’t know your child’s number. We can look up the account number as long as you include the first and last name and teacher’s name.
Payment envelopes should be placed in the locked collection box just outside the cafeteria doors. PLEASE DO NOT INCLUDE MONEY FOR SNACKS OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN SCHOOL MEALS.
PARENT DAY
We look forward to your visit to eat with our students on Parent Day. Please remember that your meal will cost $4.00. Any children that you bring with you that are not enrolled in our school will also pay $4.00 for their meal.
Please bring exact change or small bills on Parent Day. The lunchroom does not operate with a large cash fund and may not have enough change to make change for large bills.
FREE AND REDUCED MEALS
Even if your child received free or reduced meals last year, you must reapply every school year. The guidelines change so if you did not qualify last school year, you might qualify this year. Please reapply to see if you qualify. If you have any questions, please call Gail Bishop at 706-675-3687.
ACCOMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
We want to work with you when your child has special dietary needs. Because of strict guidelines we must follow, we cannot leave off anything or add anything to a child’s meal simply at the request of a parent or guardian. This can only be done at a physicians request in writing.
We are required to have on hand an official notice from a physician if we need to change something on a child’s plate other that what is being served. These notices must be updated each school year or as the child’s nutritional needs change.
Please be sure to provide the school nurse with a copy of these notices also.
