What is for Breakfast?
We understand that occasionally an account balance may fall in to negative. However there is a $10.00 charge limit per family. When an account falls into the negative over the $10.00 limit the children on the account will not be allowed to charge a lunch until the balance is brought back into the positive. Because we would not deny a child food, the school will provide a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and milk to the child as per our policy. Please understand this is not to embarrass or punish any child, merely an effort to keep accounts in check. Please make sure that money is always available in your lunch account to avoid your child ever being put in this position.
As always, if you feel that your family would qualify for free or reduced price lunches, please fill out the enclosed application and return it to us as soon as possible. Please know that your child will not be identified as free or reduced in the lunch line. Financial information is kept very discreet. A new application must be filled out each school year. If your application is approved, you will be notified with a letter sent home with your child. Keep this letter for your files. If you don’t hear from us by September 30 th, call us. We may not have received your application. Do not assume you have been approved until you receive an approval letter. Please be sure to list all students in the top section of the application and all household members and their income in the center section. We also have a signature and social security number to process the application. Only one application per family is necessary. Foster children must each have their own application.

- I have read the above terms and agree to let my child charge their lunch account.
A GOOD START
Did you know that breakfast is the most important meal of your child's day? It provides the nutrients and energy he needs to concentrate in school. Research even shows that kids who eat breakfast get better grades, pay more attention in class, and behave better. Help your youngster begin his day on the right foot.
MAKE TIME
Set the alarm to allow 10-15 unhurried minutes for breakfast. Suggest several healthy breakfast items, and let your child choose. Tip: Have him eat breakfast at school, where he's sure to have healthy choices and time to eat with his friends.
MAKE IT HEALTHY
Give your child a mix of protein ( such as milk, eggs, cheese, or meat) and carbohydrates (whole-grain cereal, fruit, or whole-wheat bread). The carbohydrates boost energy and help your child jump-start his day, while the protein keeps his body going strong until lunchtime.
MAKE IT KID-FRIENDLY
These quick breakfasts are sure to bring and early-morning smile to your youngster's face:
- Egg in a Basket: Cover a frying pan with no-fat cooking spray. Tear a hole out of a slice of whole-wheat bread, put the slice in the pan, and crack an egg into the hole. Cook two minutes, flip, and cook until the egg is set and lightly browned.
- Waffle Wonder: Toast a whole-grain frozen waffle. Put sliced strawberries around the edge and fill with a handful of blueberries. Serve with a side of low-fat flavored cottage cheese yogurt.
IT ALL ADDS UP
Excerise doesn't have to be done all at once. Encourage your youngster to be active throughout the day---small amounts of time will add up! In general, school-age children should get at least an hour of physical activity each day. Here are some ways to put more excerise into your child's routine:
- Have her invite friends over for a backyard game of tag or capture the flag.
- Suggest that she jump rope for 10 minutes.
- Put on some music, and dance to it.
- Bike together to the library or a friend's house. Note: For safety, use sidewalks and wear helmets.
- When you do errands, park far from the store to encourage more walking time.
- Take the steps rather than the elevator when you're shopping or at the dentist.
Remember: Regular exercise will not only make your child healthier---it will help her sleep better at night and be in better shape to learn and play all day.
