Information from Our Cafeteria
In an effort to be more consistent in avoiding negative lunch balances, we are instituting a new and more formal policy. Any student accumulating -$15.00 or more in a negative lunch balance will have the balance moved to another area of the lunch system. The student and parent are responsible to pay this debt. At this point, one additional week will be given to take care of this balance, while still receiving lunch at normal price. If the debt reaches -$30.00, cash will be required to receive a meal until the debt is cleared off the account. We recommend using EZPAY to receive notification of low lunch balances and student lunch activity and purchases. When the student reaches the maximum charge limit, an alternate meal will be given.
