Breakfast with Your Child
Parents/adults are welcome to eat breakfast with their child but due to Federal Rules and Regulations, parents/adults are not allowed to eat from the student's plate. Adults may purchase their own breakfast at $1.90. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Mealtime Reminders
We would like to extend our gratitude to parents/guardians who have been keeping track of their child's Mealtime account diligently. We appreciate your support and cooperation!
Negative Balance Notices
Just a reminder that our staff will continue to send home negative balance notices through your child. As of January 1, 2011, if your child's balance reaches a $11.00 negative balance or $2.00 negative balance for a child under the reduced lunch program, he/she will not be able to purchase a lunch (in accordance with Hawaii State Department of Education School Food Service Policy). We strongly encourage parents to make regular deposits into their child's Mealtime account(s).
Student Loans
Elementary schools will provide a regular breakfast and a regular lunch to a student who would like a meal, is not eligible for a free meal, but does not have meal money, unless the balance of advances made by the school to the student will exceed the total of five student lunch prices.
The school will advance the cost to the student for the meal from the school food services account and telephone the parent and/ or send a note home with the student advising the parent that the school has loaned the child the amount needed for the meal(s), and that the loan should be repaid on the following school day.
In the event that your child's account runs into a negative balance, your child will bring a "pink" reminder slip home and we would appreciate a prompt request to make a deposit to clear up the negative balance.
We ask you for your understanding and cooperation. Thank you.
Cash Deposits
As of January 1, 2011, the cost of eating both a breakfast and a lunch daily in an average month (20 school days) is approximately $63.00. We strongly encourage parents to make regular cash deposits into their child's Mealtime account.
Adult Breakfast
For parents or other adults accompanying their child for breakfast, please bring exact change with you to pay for your meal ($1.90 for adults) as we have a very limited change fund.
Recess Juice/Milk Purchases
Also of note, if your child is under the Federal Lunch program (free or reduced meals) and he/she purchases juice or milk during morning recess, please make sure you have sufficient funds in your child's account to cover these ala carte items.
