Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

The charges for noon meals for the 2004-2005 school year will remain the same as last year.  The rate will once again be $1.85 per meal for elementary age students (grades K-6 – ages 5–11), and $2.00 for students older than 11 years.  A thirty day meal ticket will cost the following:

 

·   5-11 years old:      $55.50

·   12–21 years old:   $60.00

 

You will be notified one week before your son or daughter’s ticket is to expire, so that a check written out to WSSB Meal Program can be sent to the school to cover the cost of the next 30 day ticket.  Student meal tickets will be kept in a locked area in the dining room and tickets will be punched each day your son or daughter takes a meal.  Payment for meal tickets will need to be made prior to the start of the school year.  If you qualify for free and reduced lunch through USDA, the meal will either be provided through this program at a reduced rate or at no cost.  If you qualify for reduced priced meals, the business office will send you the appropriate bill.

 

Enclosed is a form to request free and reduced meals through USDA. If you believe your child qualifies, please complete the form.  If you do not qualify, please sign the form and write across the form do not qualify.  This will assist us should we have to do any follow-up. In addition, the number of free and reduced priced applications is the basis for which the school can receive other grants, which benefit our students.

 

All meals served must meet patterns established by the US Department of Agriculture. However if a child has been determined by a doctor to be disabled and the disability would prevent the child from eating the regular meal, the school will make any substitutions prescribed by the doctor.  Prescribed substitutions must come in a written form signed by the doctor.  These prescribed instructions will be located in the health center and communicated to the food service staff.

 

Your cooperation is appreciated.  Thank you. 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Dean Stenehjem, Ed.D

Re:  PLEASE READ AND RETURN

 

Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

Please complete and return the enclosed form to request free and reduced priced meals through USDA.  If you are not eligible for this program, sign and write across the form do not qualify.  It is important that every student’s form is returned as the number of free and reduced priced applications is the basis for which the school can receive other grants, which benefit our students.

           

A thirty day meal ticket cost:

 

·      5-11 years old:       $55.50 ($1.85 per meal)

·      12–21 years old:     $60.00 ($2.00 per meal)

 

Payment for meal tickets made out to WSSB Meal Program must be received prior to the start of the school year. You will be notified one week before your child’s ticket expires.  If you qualify for reduced priced meals, the business office will send you the appropriate bill.

 

All meals meet the requirements established by the USDA.  If your child requires a special diet based on a medical condition, the school will make any substitutions prescribed by a doctor submitted in written form.

 

Your participation will benefit all WSSB students.  Thank you. 

 

Sincerely,
