New Lunch Policy Updates to the following guideline regarding school lunch payments for charged meals will be implemented starting Monday, October 8, 2018. Please note there has been a change in the amount of debt a student can accrue and what can be charged when a student has a negative balance. When the school year starts, a student s free and reduced lunch status carries over from the previous year. The deadline to turn in a new application for free and reduced lunch will be the end of the first week of October. Students can charge up to $7.00 of debt or $1.00 of debt if they are at reduced status for daily featured school meals (these amounts would allow the student to charge up to two (2) meals). No a-la-carte or snack items will be allowed to be charged to an account with insufficient funds. Once a student exceeds these limits, they will be provided an alternative meal to be determined by the school district and will no longer be able to charge on their account. Once the account is paid in full, the cycle starts over again. All meal balances (positive or negative) carry over from the previous school year. InfoSnap Please make sure that you take a moment to make sure that you have all the forms filled out in info snap! Field trips will be here before we know it and we need those emergency forms all filled out! THANKS! CANNED FOOD DRIVE! We will be having a canned food drive contest the week of September 10 th.

FINGER PRINTS If you are wanting to go on a field trip this year you will need to have your finger prints taken at the board office. Please call up and schedule an appointment as soon as possible, this process can sometimes take an extended amount of time. Thank you in advance for volunteering your time! 2
