Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program:

To introduce the children to new fruits and vegetables every student will receive for free a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable for their morning snack.  

Meal Prepayment System:

The Elementary Schools have a computerized program for the management of school meals that assigns an account number to each student. This system allows us to provide better service to students and parents, as well as account for all meals served at The Elementary School. This system is designed to protect the privacy of those students who may be receiving free or reduced price meals. The school meal program operates on a pre-pay basis. It is expected that all meals, milk, etc. will be paid for in advance. Payment for the week is expected on Monday (Tues. if absent or a holiday). Payment may be made for the week, two weeks, month, etc.  See flyer to the right about My School Bucks online payment system.
