Ticket Policy

Children may purchase lunch tickets on a weekly, or monthly basis, paid in advance. The lunch program accepts checks as well as cash, but cannot accept responsibility for lost or misplaced tickets. Please put your child’s money or check in an envelope clearly marked with what the child is purchasing.

If it is more convenient for you, to have your child buy multiple tickets, it would be helpful if you would write their name in ink on the back of each ticket, and send them with only one each day, since young children sometimes have a tendency to lose things.

Tickets should be purchased first thing in the morning on the first day of the week. Menus are sent home each month so you and your child can choose which meals they want to eat.

The cost of a student lunch is $2.10 per day Morse and Mast Landing or $2.35 per day Middle and High Schools. Reduced meals are $.40 per day or $2.00 per week. An application for free and reduced meals will be sent home the first day of school along with a menu. Parents may eat with their children for $3.60 per day.

We allow children who forget their lunch money to use an IOU for lunch. Once a child accumulates 3 unpaid IOUs, they must call the parent to obtain permission for another unpaid lunch. The reason for this policy is to promote ongoing communication with parents, so they will know that the child is charging lunches

IOU’S are not an option at the High School.

Children are allowed to bring a bag lunch from home and eat in the school cafeteria. Milk, juice, or water can be purchased for $.50 a day to supplement the bag lunch. At recess, milk and juice are both available for $.50 a day. Tickets for these beverages are available in the same line as lunch tickets. Milk is included as a part of the school lunch.
