Lunch Account Charge Policy
PPS Lunch Account Charge Policy
PK-8th Grade
Students whose accounts have a charge of $10 for insufficient funds will no longer be allowed to charge. Students who have a negative balance of $10 will be given a verbal notice and the lunchroom secretary will attempt to contact the parent/guardian by phone, email and/or letter. These students will receive an alternative meal of cereal, non-flavored milk and fruit for breakfast. For lunch, students will receive an alternative meal consisting of a sandwich, non flavored milk, and fruit or vegetable. This meal is a low-cost reimbursable meal and the student’s account will be charged as such. An alternative meal will be served until payment is received, including partial payment, or upon approval for a free or reduced-price meal. The child nutrition manager will attempt to make arrangements for a student to receive an alternative meal in a manner which will reduce the possibility of embarrassing the student.
High School

Any student whose account reaches a negative balance of $10 will receive cereal, non-flavored milk, and fruit for breakfast, and an alternative meal consisting of a sandwich, non-flavored milk, and a fruit or vegetable for lunch. This meal is a low-cost reimbursable meal and the student’s account will be charged as such. Limited alternative meals will be available for students with more than one charged meal if deemed appropriate by the Principal or Cafeteria manager.
