Student Meals

Students have a limited charge privilege.  If a student arrives at school without money, they are allowed up to $15.00 in charges. If the student has reached the charge limit, he/she may be provided an alternate meal. Every effort will be made to notify parents of charges and the alternative meal policy at the first negative balance, utilizing automated calls, letters and email. Charges are not allowed for extras or ala carte items.

Adult Meals

All adult and guest meals are to be paid by the individual in advance or at the time the meal is selected.
