SCHOOL LUNCHES: Children Need Healthy Meals to Learn Churchill County School District offers healthy meals for every school day. The cost of breakfast for students is $1.50 and for adults is $1.75 at all sites. The cost for lunch for elementary is $2; junior high school $2.25; high school $2.50; and adults $3. Your children may qualify for free or reduced meals. Reduced price meals are free for breakfast and lunch. An application for free and reduced priced meals will go home with every student on the first day of school. Every school year a new application has to be filled out if you think you would qualify. If you qualified last year, your status would only last for the first 30 days of this new school year which ends on October 8. Your meal charges will start on October 9. Please fill out one application per family and return the application as soon as possible to one of your child(ren’s) teacher(s). There is an account for each student that he/she access using his/her student ID number. As parents/guardians you can place money on your child’s account and track what your child purchases throughout the year. At the elementary school cafeterias, our staff does not make change, so all the money received will be put on the
student’s account. The students are also able to choose ala carte items and have the money taken out of their meal accounts. Examples: extra milk — 30 cents; chips — 75 cents; cookie — 25 cents; water — 50 cents; ice cream — 50 cents. Also available to parents/guardians is the cafeprepay.com website where you can see how much money is on your child’s account and you can choose to add money to your child’s account with a credit or debit card. The school meals initiative is taking us back in time, but moving us forward in eating healthier meals. Your children will see more fruits and vegetables on their trays. They will also see all whole grain breads. We will still serve pizza and chicken nuggets, but they will have lower sodium and be healthier for you. We are 100 percent committed to meeting the new meal pattern in the 2012/2013 school year. We encourage all parents/guardians to visit their child’s cafeteria and to communicate with the food service staff. We are proud to serve the students of Churchill County School District. If you have any questions or concerns at any time throughout the 2012/2013 school year, please contact Dawn Whitten at 428-2700.
