Can I charge my child's lunch account on line?

No, We have not implemented the credit system as of yet.  We are 
currently looking into it and hope to have this option available 
in the near future.

How do I know when my child's account is close to 0?

The cashiers in each school print out reminders to send home each 
week on Thursday.  You will get a reminder only if your child's 
account falls below $6.00.  Remember the price of lunch and any 
extras you are permitting and do the math!  The idea behind 
having a lunch account is to pay in advance.  Many parents choose 
to send in $50 or $100 at a time, but you can send as much as you 
feel comfortable with.

If my child runs out of money in their account will they still be able to eat?

Yes...BUT, WE DISCOURAGE THIS!!! If your child is in a negative 
balance, they will be permitted no snacks and are required to 
charge a full lunch (See announcements page for a definition).  
You are expected to pay for any charges immediately.  The 
building principal will receive a list of students with charges 
that are more than 1 week old. Report cards will not be given out 
to students who have charge balances at the end of the school 
year.

How do I control how much money my child is spending on extras?

Call the Food Service office at 330-757-7000 ext. 1038 and 
request a daily spending limit to be set for your child.  There 
is NO OPTION for a weekly limit, ONLY DAILY!!  Remember, if your 
child does not buy a TYPE A lunch and buys primarily Ala Carte 
then they will not be able to buy like this if you set limits on 
extras (ala carte items).

What if my child has a $1.00 limit on extras and they want to buy extra pizza?

This was a problem in the beginning of the program but I have now 
eliminated entree's from the "extra" classification in the 
program so they can buy as many entree items as they want.

There are general recipes in the forms area of this web page.  I

children with food allergies.  Please call my office at 330-757-
