FOOD SERVICES(SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM) The D. C. Everest Area School District participates
in the National School Lunch Program. Nutritious
lunches are made available each day that school is in session.
Application forms for Free or Reduced Price
Lunch/Breakfast benefits are sent home with each student at the beginning of the
school year. Parents are encouraged
to complete and return this form if they feel their family may be eligible to
receive these benefits. A new form
must be completed each school year. Please
submit only one form for all members of your family. Application for Free or Reduced Price Meals may be made at
any time during the school year. Forms At each elementary school, a student lunch account is
set up with a PIN (personal identification number) assigned.
Parents are asked to make payments to their child’s lunch account to
cover the cost of their child’s meals. Each
child inputs their PIN into a computerized register at mealtime. The cost of
their meal is deducted from their lunch account.
The elementary school lunch price is $ 1.15 per day.
For those students eligible for reduced price meals, the cost is 40¢ per
day. Students who carry their lunch to school may purchase
milk for 25¢ per 8 oz. carton. Skim
milk, 2% milk, and chocolate 1% milk is available on a daily basis.
The cost of this milk will also be deducted from the student lunch
account. Students eligible for free
meals, receive free milk with school lunch only.
No free milk is available for students who bring a cold lunch.
Parents are expected to provide payment for school lunch or a cold lunch
for their child each day. Parents should maintain a sufficient balance in the
student lunch account to cover the cost of morning milk, school lunch, or lunch
milk. In the fall, you will receive
information explaining how credit card payments can be made online at the D.C.
Everest website. Payment can also
be made by check at the school office. Please
include the student name and PIN with the deposit.
If there is not a sufficient balance in the student lunch account, one
lunch will be served to the student. The
parent is expected to reimburse the school district for the cost of this lunch.
If payment is not received by the following day, the student will be
served a light lunch and the parent will be contacted. A written notice will be
sent to the parent prior to refusal to allow additional meals.
Statements of the student lunch account balance will be sent home
periodically. The school lunch menu is sent home monthly with the
school newsletter. Menus are also
printed in the Wausau Daily Herald, announced daily on several local radio
stations and available on the D. C. Everest home page, www.dce.k12.wi.us. WISCONSIN
MORNING MILK PROGRAM
( Kindergarten and Grades 1-5) Students who wish to purchase milk for a morning
break may do so. The cost of milk
is 25¢ per 8 oz. carton. This cost
will be deducted from the student lunch account.
If a student in Grade K-5 is determined to be eligible for Free &
Reduced Price Lunch/Breakfast, there will be no charge for morning milk.
No additional application is needed.
