We strongly encourage ALL families, regardless of income level, to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application. Completing this application not only determines eligibility for individual students but also helps our school receive vital funding for various educational programs and resources that benefit all students. Your participation is invaluable to our school community.
Negative Account Balances:
If a full-price or reduced-price student's account surpasses -$10.00, they will not be permitted to purchase a standard lunch. Instead, they will be provided with an alternate lunch consisting of a cheese sandwich, fruit, and juice.
A la Carte Purchases:
Students with a zero or negative balance, regardless of their eligibility status (full-price, reduced-price, or free), will not be allowed to purchase any a la carte items (e.g. snacks).
Extra-Curricular Restrictions for Excessive Balances:
To ensure responsible financial management within our school community, students with an account balance of -$10.00 or more may face restrictions on extra-curricular participation.
Specifically, students may not be able to participate in field trips or school sponsored special events such as Field Day. Additionally, these students will face the possibility of being withdrawn from any after-school programs until their account balance is paid in full.
Balance Rollover Disclosure:
Please be aware that all lunch account balances, positive or negative, will roll over from one school year to next. Any restrictions on a student due to a negative account balance will follow the student into the new school year until the balance is paid in full.
Withholding Student Records:
Student records will be withheld for any outstanding negative balance due on a student's lunch account. This includes, but is not limited to, report cards, transcripts, and transfer documents. Records will be released once the balance has been paid in full.
We encourage families to regularly monitor their student's lunch account balance or enroll in autopay to avoid these restrictions. If you have any questions or concerns about your student's account, please contact foodservice@cijsreggioscholars.org
