Food Service News
Meals will be served to all students wanting to participate in the Lockwood Schools Food Service Program. The price of a school lunch is $2.00. Breakfast price will be $1.25. All meals include a half pint of milk. Extra milk will be 35 cents. Adult meal prices will be $1.25 for breakfast and $3.00 for lunch.
Breakfast will be served to students in kindergarten through eighth grade at 7:30 a.m. Children who carry lunches from home will eat in the cafeteria and may buy milk separately for 35 cents a half pint.
Applications for free and reduced-price meals will be sent home with each child on the first day of school. Parents are urged to fill out the application and return it as soon as possible. If you are uncertain about eligibility, staff here will assist in completion of this form. This will help your family costs as well as the school’s eligibility for federal and state grants. Call Pam Rule, lunch clerk, at 252-6022 (press 7) for information on this matter.
The Lockwood Family Resource Center is offering assistance to families who think they may be eligible for free/reduced lunch and breakfast for their children. All information is kept confidential. If you want assistance there are several options. You may call and receive help over the phone or you may visit and receive direct assistance.
It is very important that the free/reduced lunch application is filled out properly and signed by the parent or guardian. The determining official cannot approve an incomplete application. Please remember that an application needs to be filled out on a yearly basis. Even though a child was approved for free or reduced meals last year, a new application MUST be filled out for this year.
A lunch account with an outstanding balance (either negative or positive) from last year will be carried over to start the 2007-08 school year.
There is a 10-meal limit for charging per child. After a 10-meal charge an alternative meal will be served. Alternative meals must have the required food items/components to be nutritionally beneficial for students.
