If your child has balance in his/her account at the end of the school year, the money will be available on the first day of school the following year. Your child must be enrolled during the last week of school for the money to transfer. Any student not enrolled during the last week of school will not have money transferred to the next school year. Refunds must be requested before the last day of school.

Every student in 1st through 12th grades can charge up to $10. Once a child has reached his/her maximum charge limit ($10), he/she will not be able to charge after that point until the account is returned to positive status. It is also helpful for our office if parents pay a minimum of two week's ($15) to a month's ($30) worth of lunches at time. This will help us eliminate the cost of sending payment reminders home with our students and forcing students to charge lunches.
