Additional items from the daily menu, as well as selected other foods, juice and water beverages that comply with the USDA Smart Snacks in School standards may be purchased as an a la carte item to compliment school meals or meals brought from home.

All extra purchases require funds to be available (in My School Bucks or cash) at the time of purchase.

Adult may not receive meals at no charge because the Food Services Department  receives federal and state reimbursement money for each meal served to students that meets regulatory requirements. No reimbursement is available for adult meals. Adults may purchase a meal or individualized items and do not have to follow the same meal pattern as students. Adult portion sizes are the same as students.

To ensure that households are aware of negative account balances Food and Nutrition Services will:

• Send negative balance letters to households;

• Use automated notification system to notify guardians of negative balances

All communication regarding unpaid meal amounts will be directed to parents or guardians. Any household with a negative school meal account balance will be contacted by school staff using email, phone, or letter home to bring the student’s meal account current, and recommendation will be made to add funds to the student’s online meal account (myschoolbucks.com).
