Lunch Accounts - SNAP
Students and staff at all schools can enjoy breakfast and lunch using a computerized lunch program called SNAP.

Each Student Has Two Accounts
Lunch Accounts may only be used for lunches and Lunch Accounts may be used for lunch breakfast and ala carte purchases. There is no limit on the amount of money deposited into an account. If Lunch Account is not written on a check, then the money will be deposited in the Cash Account.

Each purchase, whether a breakfast, lunch or a la carte item, is automatically recorded and deducted it from the balance. Students will receive a barcode card to access the account (there is a $5 replacement charge for lost or damaged cards).

Once the lunch account and cash accounts are $0, the student will have to pay cash to receive items at the junior and senior highs. There is NO charging. Elementary students will be given a negative balance letter to take home.

Free & Reduced-Price Meals
Students receiving free or reduced-price lunches follow the same procedure above. The computer tracks all purchases – not even the cashier knows the student’s eligibility status. It allows eligible students one breakfast and one lunch per day. Second lunches will be $1.75. Second breakfasts will be $.90.

Making Deposits
Elementary students give their money to the teacher or to the school secretary in the morning.

Junior and senior high students take the money to the Lunch Clerk in the cafeteria before school each morning.
