WELCOME TO GLENWOOD COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
FOOD SERVICE
PROGRAM
Glenwood Community School District provides a computerized
system that allows participants to deposit money into a Food Service account
from which they may draw to purchase lunch, breakfast, or Ala Carte items using
a P.I.N. number. The Food Service Program will issue each student, teacher, associate, administrator,
and staff person a P.I.N. number to use when purchasing meals or ala carte
items. Students and staff may pick up your P.I.N. number and deposit money
into their account
at registration, before school begins, or before meal service time.
Food Service must collect money for accounts
in the early morning at all school buildings. They are unable to accept
money during lunch service time as they are required to serve meals within a
short time frame and in a different section of our computer program. The
Food Service Program expect meals to be paid for in advance, but they do allow emergency charging, not
to go past -$10.00. Reminder slips will be printed and sent home for students Pre-K
thru 6th grade. Reminder slips are printed before lunch on Tuesdays
and Thursdays and will be sent home with each child on these days.
Reminders are printed starting at positive $10.00 thru negative $10.00.
Each family
should receive approximately 10 reminder notes before the negative $10.00 is
reached. Please call your child’s teacher if you cannot find the reminder note
with your child. Ala Carte items may be purchased with cash or from accounts.
Parents may block Ala Carte purchases and breakfasts from the student’s
account. Ala Carte items may not be charged; only meals can be charged.
The Food Service
Department can take one check for all family members’ meal accounts, but we need
information about who the money is for, what
building they are in, and how much to deposit in
each family member’s account. Please be sure we have all the information needed
to transfer money to other family members’ accounts.
If you have questions
about your food service account, please speak to the food service clerk.
They
will be happy to give you or a parent a printout of your account transactions.
If you find mistakes, please talk to the food service clerk.
Lunch
 |
SENIOR HIGH
is offered three lunch line choices.
|
1.
The “Type A” lunch line begins at the west door. We generally offer two
entrée choices in our Type A lunch line. Fruits, fruit juices, vegetables, etc.
are serve-yourself on tables in the main cafeteria area and are included with
the Type A meal. You may add on salad bar at a cost of $.50.
2.
The salad bar line begins at the east door in the cafeteria. If you
choose from 3 food categories, this is also served and charged as a Type A meal
choice. The self-serve fruits and vegetables are also included in this meal
choice. If less than 3 food categories are taken, we will charge Ala Carte
pricing, which is higher, and we encourage everyone to choose from at least 3
food categories. Milk is included in this meal and counts as a
food category.
3.
The Ala Carte serving area is located at the west side of the cafeteria
room. Pricing is set for individual items. Look for signs showing pricing or
ask the Ala Carte clerk for pricing. If you have a special request for us to
bring in a different item than offered, please speak to the clerk.
|
MIDDLE SCHOOL
lunch includes your choice of either the main lunch line or the salad bar line.
Students may serve themselves to all the fruits and vegetables they will eat in
the main lunch line and at the salad bar. Second entrees (included in the meal
for the day) may be purchased as you enter the lunch line. This would be items
like 2nd sandwich, slice of pizza, french fries, cookies, cakes,
etc. Students may purchase Ala Carte items after all students have been seated
and have had time to eat their meal. Please be sure to bring money for accounts
to the cafeteria in the mornings from 7:30 A.M. to 8:15 A.M.
|

WEST ELEMENTARY
may choose main line lunch or salad bar when their teacher takes attendance in
the mornings. Students may ask for a second serving of fruits and vegetables or
they may turn down a fruit or vegetable as they pick up their food tray.
Students are to bring money for their meal account to the ticket window on the
south end of the 5th grade hallway. Students may get an extra milk
with their lunch or to go with a cold lunch when they go thru the lunch line.
They will enter their P.I.N. number once for their meal and again for an extra
milk. If they are getting a milk to go with a cold lunch, they will enter their
P.I.N. number after the clerk has entered their milk as an Ala Carte item. The
amount will be deducted from the student’s meal account. Parents are encouraged
to come eat lunch with their students and may deduct the cost of their meal from
their student’s meal account, or please have exact change ($2.05).
|
|
NORTHEAST ELEMENTARY
students will leave their lunch money in a special place the teacher in each
room assigns for lunch money. Please place lunch money inside an envelope that
contains your child’s name, teacher’s name, and write a note if the money is to
be split out for siblings at other buildings. We encourage parents to come eat
lunch with their child. We need to know by 9:30 AM if you are eating a school
lunch. Parents may deduct the cost of their meal from their child’s account, or
please bring exact change for the cost of the meal ($2.05).

Breakfast
Breakfast includes:
* 2 bread items (1 large donut, 2
poptarts, 1 large muffin, 1 - 3 oz. Bagel, 1 cereal bowl and a graham cracker
equals two bread items - ask if you have a question.)

only)
* Milk (8 oz. carton only)
A student may take 2 milks
or 2 juices or one of each included in their breakfast. A breakfast must
contain 3 components to be sold or counted as a free or reduced priced meal. In
other words, a student must take a milk or juice with a donut, bagel, poptart,
etc., to claim it as a free or reduced price meal and not Ala Carte sales.
Students may not charge
breakfast or Ala Carte items.

Students are served a complete breakfast. The meal must be eaten in the
cafeteria. Food cannot be taken out of the cafeteria area to be consumed later,
as required by the Bureau of Food and Nutrition. We do not serve extra food to
Northeast students. Parents may block their child from eating breakfast or
having juice by sending us a signed request. Free and reduced priced students
who want to purchase single milks and juices will need to pay full price for
them because they are not included in the free or reduced program. If you have
