SCHOOL LUNCH
All district schools prepare and offer lunch daily according to the guidelines of the
National School Lunch Program. Alternatively, students may bring a sack lunch from
home. Milk may be purchased for $0.40 or is included with lunch at all four buildings.
Lunch costs $2.00 at the Ledgewood, Stone Creek and Kinnikinnick Schools, and $2.25
at the Roscoe Middle School. An extra serving of the main dish may be purchased in
addition to a full lunch at the Kinnikinnick and Roscoe Middle Schools for $1.25.
Breakfast is offered daily at the Roscoe Middle School for $1.40, along with two lunch
choices and a la carte items ranging in price from $.50 to $1.50. Daily lunch menu
details are posted in each building and on the District website at www.kinn131.org.
Health Department sanitation regulations prohibit food brought in by students from being
warmed, reheated, or cooked in District kitchens
Students use a bar-coded ID card when purchasing lunch. ID cards are to remain at
school, but students are responsible for their ID card at all times. Students will be
provided with up to two (2) cards annually at no charge. A five (5) dollar replacement
charge is assessed to the student’s lunch account if additional ID cards must be issued
due to loss or destruction. No money is collected in the lunchroom. Parents may deposit
money into their child’s account any time during the day by stopping in to the building
office. Students may turn in lunch money to the building office each morning in a sealed
envelope with the child’s name and homeroom teacher clearly identified.
When the student’s ID card is scanned in the lunchroom, the cost of any items purchased
is automatically deducted from the student’s lunch account balance. Students at
Ledgewood, Stone Creek and Kinnikinnick Schools are given reminder slips to take
home when their lunch account balance is running low. Students at RMS are responsible
for checking their own lunch account balances. Students with no funds available in their
lunch account may receive a peanut butter sandwich, fruit and milk for lunch. Only ten
(10) of such lunches are provided annually.
Families undergoing severe financial hardship may obtain an application for free and
reduced priced meals from their building office or from the District website.
Lunch balances automatically follow the student, rolling over at the end of each school
year. Graduating student balances are first applied to cover fees owed to the District and
then credited to the account of returning siblings in the District for the next school year.
Parents of students who are leaving the District for any reason and have an account
balance in excess of ten (ten) dollars may contact the District Office to request a refund
