END OF YEAR MEAL CHARGE POLICY Throughout the year, many students have incurred negative balances on school meal accounts from purchases on credit. The school district cannot carry negative balances over the summer! To avoid this situation, beginning on May 1, students will not be allowed to make purchases unless there are enough funds in their account to cover the purchase. If not, they will be charged full student price for a cold cheese sandwich meal (cheese sandwich, milk, and fruit or vegetable sides). Money still in the account at the end of the school year is carried over to the next year, except for students leaving the district and graduates. You may request a refund for any remaining funds, transfer funds to a sibling account, or donate remaining funds to another student by contacting the Food Service Department at 616.493.8774 , or by email to
[email protected] or
[email protected] (include student name, your name and mailing address). Please keep a sufficient balance in your child’s account to cover his/her lunches through the end of the school year. If you are unsure of your child’s meal account balance, or have any questions regarding the lunch program, please call the Food Service office, email us, or set up a parent account at www.sendmoneytoschool.com. Your help with this policy is greatly appreciated. Chris Nelson, FHPS Food Service Director
