Dear Parents,

Thank you for your support of the St. Matthew Hot Lunch Program.  

1. The price of a hot lunch or one trip to the salad bar is $3.50.

2. Each student’s account is separate.  They are not listed under the family’s name.  Money has to be deposited into each individual child's account.  

3. There are several ways to pay for lunch:

a). Send a check or cash to the cafeteria and we can post it online for you. There is no fee if you pay the cafeteria directly. Please make sure to list your child’s first and last name on the envelope. If you are sending a check for a family you will need to designate the amount to be put into each child’s account. All payments will automatically be posted to ala carte (and can be used in the hot lunch line, salad bar, or ala carte) unless otherwise designated. A minimum $10.00 payment is required.

b). Go online to www.myschoolaccount.com and set up an account to use a debit card, credit card, or have money deducted from your checking or savings account to pay for lunch.  You will need your child's student ID# out of School Speak to set up the account.  You will see a default birthday for your child on myschoolaccount.com.  Please don't change it.  We didn't load birthdays.  There is a $2.00 charge for each transaction to use this service. The website alows you to view your child's purchasing histroy.  You can also set a threshold so the webiste will email you alerting you when funds are running low.  Parents of new students will not be able to access this online service until the student is given a student ID# and scanned into the system.

4. The price of milk is 50 cents and can be purchased at ala carte.

5. Ala carte prices are posted in the cafeteria.

6. Every morning your child's teacher takes a count as to the number of hot lunches and salad bar orders then sends the count to the cafeteria.

7. IOU notices will be sent home with the student. Please remember to add additional funds ovre and above what is in arrears so the account does not revert to having a negative balance. We discourage you from running a negative balance with the cafeteria.  It makes it difficult for us to meet our financial obligations.  All accounts must be paid in full at the end of the school year or you will be denied access to your child’s report card.  

8.   On days when school is delayed due to weather it is difficult for us to have lunch ready in time.  On Weather Delay Days we will serve a standard meal:

•     Chicken Nuggets
•     Carrots, Salad
•     Fruit Cocktail, Fresh Fruit
•     Dinner Roll
•     Milk

Thank you for your cooperation.
