Breakfast and Lunch:  If your circumstances have changed and you feel that your household may qualify for free or reduced meal prices, you may fill out a paper application at your school or apply online at www.schoolcafe.com/KELLERISD. Please call the PGE office with any questions. We are here to support you. Beginning Monday, October 21, Keller ISD will begin providing an alternative meal for students with unpaid lunch balances greater than $25. Keller ISD schools want to ensure students have access to nutritious meals during school hours regardless of financial circumstances, while also addressing costly negative balances that may be accrued. Once a student’s meal account reaches or exceeds a negative balance of $25, the school cafeteria will provide an alternative meal until the negative balance is resolved. For all grade levels, the breakfast entree will be a SunButter and jelly sandwich and the lunch entree will be a turkey and cheese sandwich. Both meals will be served with the fresh fruit of the day, with the option of selecting white or chocolate milk. The meal is intended to be nutritionally balanced and meets the dietary guidelines set forth by the Texas Department of Agriculture and the National School Lunch and Breakfast Program. Before a student receives the alternative meal, parents or guardians will be notified in writing as soon as their account becomes delinquent. Campus cashiers will also proactively but discreetly notify students when their account is getting close to the $25 negative balance threshold. Please note that the negative balance threshold is calculated per student and not per family or household. Upon reaching the $25 negative balance threshold, parents or guardians will be informed that their student will receive an alternative meal until the balance is resolved. Cafeteria and school employees will be trained to handle these situations as discreetly as possible. Cash and check payments can be made at any cafeteria during mealtimes. If you wish to pay by card, you may pay online at www.schoolcafe.com/KELLERISD.

Enjoy the break with your students and we will see you October 21st!
