Oops, I forgot my lunch money.

Charge Policy

Students and adults are encouraged to pay in advance for food purchases. Any student who forgets or loses his/her money may charge a maximum dollar equivalent of two (2) paid breakfasts and two (2) paid lunches. If payment for charges is not received the next school day, a nutritious snack (fruits & Vegetables), but not a full meal, will be provided to the student.  Only reimbursable meals  may be charged.

Adults will pay for meals in advance or at the time of purchase. There are no provisions for adult charges.

What am I allowed to take as a meal?

Offer vs. Serve

Breakfast:  The offer vs. serve provision allows our customers to choose 3 or 4  of the 4 food items offered at breakfast.  

The components of breakfast are: 

1. fruit (or vegetable) or full strength juice
2. 8 oz fluid milk
3. bread 
4. bread or  meat/meal alternate

 Lunch:  The offer vs. serve provision allows our customers to choose3, 4 or all 5 of the components offered at lunch.  

The components of lunch are:  

1. meat/ meal alternate 
2. vegetable and/or fruit
3. vegetable and/or fruit
4. bread/bread alternate
5. 8 oz fluid milk

The established selling price must be charged if the  student selects  the minimum number of components.  No one component (e.g., milk) is required to be selected by the student. The student has the freedom of making their own choices.

How does my student meal account work? 

Account Deposits

All students have personal accounts regardless of paying status (free, reduced, or full pay). 

Deposits in any amount may be made to a student's personal account, thus reducing the chance that breakfast or lunch money will be forgotten, lost, or stolen. Deposits may be made during breakfast or lunch meal service.

Students will use their student numbers to debit purchases from their accounts. While students still have the option of paying as they go through the line, advance payment will speed transactions allowing lines to move more quickly and affording more time for eating their meal. If you wish your child to purchase only full meals (no extra items) from their account, please email Ms Arnold or call 381-3115.

Refunds from accounts are allowed only when a student leaves Fayette County Public Schools and is issued as a check through Food Service Office.  Refunds cannot be made at the school level.

School staff members are encouraged to open accounts for their food purchases, also.

Email Ms. Arnold with questions and/or comments.
