SCHOOL LUNCH
All district schools prepare and offer lunch daily according to the guidelines of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). Alternatively, students may bring a sack lunch from home. Pop and caffeinated beverages are not allowed in school per the District’s Wellness Policy. Milk may be purchased for $0.40 or is included with lunch at all four buildings.
USDA regulations require that each student take a fruit and/or a vegetable with their meal. A student lunch costs $2.75 at all buildings. A second lunch is available at RMS for $3.25. An adult lunch is $3.50.
An extra serving of the main dish may be purchased in addition to a full lunch at the Kinnikinnick and Roscoe Middle Schools for $1.50. Please discuss this option with your child. The servers are not able to monitor those who can or cannot have an extra serving. Breakfast is offered daily at the Roscoe Middle School for $1.50. The USDA requires a fruit to be taken with each breakfast. RMS offers two lunch choices. Daily lunch menu details are posted in each building and on the District website at www.kinn131.org. Health Department sanitation regulations prohibit food brought in by students from being warmed, reheated, or cooked in District kitchens.
Students use a bar-coded ID card when purchasing lunch. ID cards are to remain at school, but students are responsible for their ID card at all times. Students will be provided with up to three (3) cards annually at no charge. A five (5) dollar replacement charge is assessed if additional ID cards must be issued due to loss, or destruction. Students without ID cards will be sent to the end of the line. Students are not allowed to use another student’s ID card to purchase lunch. If your student chooses to purchase a lunch for a friend, the parent is responsible for the cost of a second lunch as outlined above.
No lunch money is collected in the lunchroom. Students may turn in lunch money in to their teacher first thing each morning in a sealed envelope with the child’s full name and teacher name clearly identified. Funds can only be deposited into lunch accounts of student(s) attending in a given building. Parents with children in multiple buildings must send lunch money with each student to ensure credit to the correct lunch account.
Please note that deposits may take up to 2 days to show up on a students account. It is the parent’s responsibility to monitor their child’s lunch balance. Lunch balance inquiries may be sent to [email protected]. For a small convenience fee, parents may add additional money to their child’s account at any time using k-12 payment center.
k12paymentcenter.com We do not use their lunch program, go to school fees to make payments.
Students are expected to keep a positive lunch balance.
When the student’s ID card is scanned in the lunchroom, the cost of the purchased item(s) is automatically deducted from the student’s lunch account balance. Students at Ledgewood, Stone Creek and Kinnikinnick Schools are given negative lunch balance slips to take home weekly. Email reminders will be sent at least weekly to parents who provide an email address in their registration packet or to the building secretary. Low balance lunch reminders are sent once a week to students with a balance of $6.00 or less. You can also email [email protected] to request your student's lunch balance.
Families undergoing severe financial hardship may obtain an application for free and reduced priced meals from their building office or from the Lunch link under each building on the District website.
Lunch balances automatically follow the student, rolling over at the end of each school year. Graduating student balances are first applied to cover fees owed to the District and then credited to the account of returning siblings in the District for the next school year. Parents of students who are leaving the District for any reason and have an account balance in excess of ten (10) dollars may request a refund by completing a Lunch Refund Request form. The form is available online on the District’s website under Lunch.
