School Lunch Information:
Lennox qualifies to serve the USDA free reimbursable meal to families this year. What this means is if your student gets the reimbursable meal the government will pay for your student's meal. Grades K- 6 are served the reimbursable free meal every day. If you see a .50 charge on your k-6 student's account, that is ala cart, Only one milk comes with the meal. Please talk to your student, they must be getting a second milk. The government is not paying for ala cart items, that is the households responsibility.
7-12th grade can refuse parts of the meal. If your 7-12th grade student chooses not to get the reimbursable meal, (no fruit or veggie) we charge your student ala cart prices. Your 7-12th grade student must have a 1/2 cup of fruit OR veggie on their tray to get the free meal. If they get a double entree, its $1.50 for the second entree. If they want just an entree, it's $2.00. Ala cart prices are the household's responsibility. I've attached some ala cart pricing on this email so you can get an idea of what your 7-12th grade students is charging.
I also want to remind you that with supply and demand for products being so unpredictable and crazy right now I have been making many menu changes. For k- 6, I made several changes on the November menu. I ordered French toast sticks when school started and have not yet received them. Now the Coby cheese omelets are hard to get. I know how much K-6 like their breakfast for lunch. These shortages are on a week-by-week basis. I put the change on Nutrislice as soon as I know we must change the menu. Since three schools share the k-6 menu, if only one elementary school has a change, then I email the building secretary and they share the email with parents. Please check the menu for changes every week.
Parents and students can get a free app on your smart phone for Nurtislice menus.
Thank you for your understanding, please email us if you have any questions.
