District Wellness Policy

Cafeteria Charge Policy

As a school district, we believe in the importance of students having access to nutritious meals, as learning is difficult on an empty stomach.  

Any student who comes through the breakfast/lunch line will receive a meal, regardless of their account balance, and a charge will be added to that student’s account for the meal.  

For students whose account balance is zero or negative, they will not be able to purchase a la-carte items in addition to their main breakfast/lunch meal.  

At the end of each year all cafeteria balances are transferred to non-waivable fees.

Students with unpaid fees, regardless of the type, may not be permitted to participate in non-instructional activities, including attending prom and walking in graduation.
