The Child Nutrition Program operates under a Point of Sale (POS) system, which means each student must type in their student ID# (or PIN) in order to purchase any item. Under POS, each student has an account and the correct amount is removed from the account when the child purchases an a la carte item. Parents are encouraged to send money to be placed on the student accounts. Please place the child's name or PIN number in the memo portion on checks. All money left on the account at the end of the school year stays with the student and will transfer to the next grade. Refunds are only granted if a student withdraws from the school district or if there is a balance at the end of the school year and a refund is requested.

Special Dietary Needs and Food Allergies
The Child Nutrition Program is happy to accommodate students with special dietary needs and food allergies within our abilities. Students must provide written medical documentation from the treating physician in order to provide for this accommodation. This documentation must include, but is not limited to, a statement of what the allergy is, what dietary changes from the traditional school meal are necessary, what specific foods must be omitted or substituted and what dietary items can be used to replace them with. This documentation should be given to the school nurse.
