Last Day to Charge School Meals Towards the end of each school year the School Nutrition Program establishes a cutoff date for meal charges in the school cafeteria. This assists the School Nutrition Program with collecting any outstanding charges that have not been paid. This year the last day that students will be allowed to charge school meals is Friday, May 17th. Beginning on Monday, May 20th students must either have money with them when they come through the serving line or have sufficient funds on their student meal account to cover what is purchased.  If a student comes to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or lunch and does not have the funds to cover the purchase, cafeteria staff will give the student an alternate meal of toast & milk for breakfast and a sandwich and milk for lunch until funds are received. Parents are always welcomed to call the cafeteria manager at their child's school to check their child's account balance. They may also call the School Nutrition Office at 586- 1045 ext. 224. Any questions concerning the cutoff date for cafeteria charges may be directed to Karen Arthur, School Nutrition Supervisor at 586-1045 ext. 224. The School Nutrition Program truly appreciates your business. This cutoff date is established in order to give the program sufficient time to collect outstanding charges and clear up accounts before the end of the school year. Driver's Ed Fee Increase The cost of Driver's Ed Behind the Wheel will increase beginning June 10, 2013. For more information click Here
