Parents will be notified at that time if they are eligible for meal benefits by letter. It is the policy of the Beggs Public School to allow a student account to charge -$10.00. Once account has reached the set limit an appropriate meal designated by the state will be offered. He or she will be served a Cheese or Peanut Butter Sandwich & Milk for each meal needed until balance is brought to the positive.
Payment reminders are sent to students at each site. Elementary reminders are sent out on Wednesdays, Middle School reminders go out every Tuesday. High School payment reminders go out every Monday.
Student account balances may also be seen on student information website using student ID number.
Students are reminded through meal line when account is getting low and money is needed for account.
If issues continue with student account Child Nutrition Director will contact parent/guardian to see if there is some way we can help.
Letters are sent home during the process with Free/Reduced form in case of income change or other changes in the household have occurred.
If charges continue to be a problem Child Nutrition Director will go to site Principal and see if they can help with matter or if possibly they know of any circumstances the family might be going through.
After April 1st all charges will be stopped to ensure all debts are collected before end of school year. Letters are sent home with students charging showing what balance is and what would be needed to finish up school year.
Once the school year has been completed and charges still exist letters are sent home by mail to parents/guardian to try to collect any unpaid balances remaining.
All negative balances are cleared at end of school year starting each account with a zero balance. Although director will still continue to collect past negative balance to get account paid in full.
