The
Milford Schools participate in the National School Lunch
Program where families who qualify can receive free meals or
reduced price meals (for lunch $.40, breakfast $.30 per day). Family Applications
will be distributed on the first day of school to every child
in the Milford Schools. The application is also
available here
with the directions for filling it out. Only one application per family is
required. Note that parents need to fill
out a new application every year.
The
Milford Schools use a computerized Point-of-Sale Program where
all students have an account ready to be used for the purchase
of lunches and snacks. Students in Kindergarten and 1st grade
are given bar coded cards with neck straps to access their
accounts at the serving line. All other grades are issued
Personal Identification Numbers (PIN) that each child
memorizes and enters at the serving line. Using PIN numbers
has worked out very well since the students don’t need to
bring lunch cards to the cafeteria. The serving lines move
much faster with the computerized point-of-sale allowing
students more time to eat!!
Three Ways to Pay for school
lunches using the computerized system. Prepay at school,
prepay using a credit card at
http://mylunchmoney.com/,
or pay cash. Also, families who qualify may apply for free or
reduced priced meals (The application is also
available here).
Pre-payments are welcome for all students beginning the first
day of school. All children may deposit money on their
accounts for lunches or a la carte items such as milk, ice
cream and other snacks. Use the deposit slip on the menu and send a check made out to Milford Food Services. All
prepayments are sent to the school kitchen for processing.
Deposits are available for lunch the same day.
Parents can pay for school lunches using a credit card and
check student account balances through the website
myLunchMoney.com. To
get started, all you need is your child’s name, grade and full
student id number (not pin number), and birth date. Visit
http://mylunchmoney.com/
for more information.
Cash
is accepted on a daily basis.
Our
lunch credit policy for students who do not have cash or money
on their account is to allow 2 lunches to be purchased on
credit. When that 2-lunch credit limit has been reached, the
students will receive an emergency lunch: a cheese sandwich and
milk, so that they will not go hungry. Our policy does not
permit charging a la carte items on the account including snacks
or ice cream.
Parent Suggestion:
Parents can keep track of how many lunches have been prepaid
in order to know when to send in more lunch money.
We make every effort to communicate with parents by sending
negative balance letters on a daily basis and low balance
letters once per week.
Parents can
find out their child’s lunch account balance every day if their
child's account is prepaid using myLunchMoney.com.
Once an account is set up for each child at
myLunchMoney.com, the
lunch account balances are updated every morning.
Parents may also contact the kitchen manager to get their
child’s lunch account balance. The best time to call is in the
morning between 9:30am and 11:00am or between 1:00pm and 1:30pm.
In addition, the kitchen manager can print a report that will
detail what the child has purchased over a period of time.
These
are the ways we communicate with parents to reduce the
number of students who do not have lunch money on their account.
Embarrassing situations are best avoided when the child’s
account maintains a positive balance.
Please
note:
Report cards may be withheld until balances are paid in full
