Welcome to the 2017-2018School Year from the Student Nutrition Department

Dear Parents:

Welcome to the 2017-2018school year from the Student Nutrition Department.

It is our goal to provide healthy meals for our students.

Charge Policy

Pre-K – 12th:

Mineola ISD has a “$10.00 Charge Limit” policy. If a student forgets to bring their lunch or money, they may make arrangement with their teacher or principal to contact the cafeteria manager to be allowed to charge their meal that day. This privilege is allowed as a courtesy and allowed only as an exception, not on a regular basis and must be paid back promptly or “Charging privileges”will be suspended until arrangements can be made. Notices will be sent home on a weekly basis to advice parents of charges, but it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to track their child’s account. If parents do not respond to notices, they will be contacted by phone from the cafeteria. If the situation is not resolved in a timely manner it will be referred to the principal and/or superintendent.

Any student that does not have charging privileges will be provided a courtesy meal of our choice sandwich, fruit and milk. If a student has no charging privileges he/she will be directed to their appropriate school office to call their parents to request lunch money or a meal.

Student Accounts

Parents may prepay funds into their child (ren)’s account. Money may be applied to your child’s account using Lunch Money Now or by sending money with your child. If sending money with a small child please placethe funds in an envelope and note the “child” name and grade in order to credit the appropriate account. If sending a check please note child’s name or student ID on check to credit the appropriate account. There is a “No Check Cashing” policy. Checks made out to the school cafeteria will be fully applied to a student’s lunch account.
