JACQUES MEMORIAL SCHOOL FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM
The Jacques Memorial School breakfast/lunch program is a pre-paid system. Each student has a meal account in which parents make payments to cover their children’s purchases in advance; breakfast, lunch, or milk only. All accounts are OPEN unless we receive a letter from you requesting no purchases. Children from time to time do get adventurous and sometimes do make purchases that their parents are unaware of. Parents are responsible for these purchases.
What’s for lunch and may I join my child?
Please refer to our menu for selections. This will help you to determine the funds needed. Our menu is sent home monthly with your child and also available on the school website: www.milfordk12.org.
Parents and Grandparents are welcome to join us. Please call 673-4434 ext. 5 by 9:00 on the day you will be dining with us to be included in the lunch count. Adult meals are $4.00.
Wellness
The lunch program encourages healthy eating. The lunch program makes every effort to provide healthy and satisfying foods for our students. A variety of whole grains such as wheat, oats, bran, barley, and rice are used. Beef, pork, chicken, and turkey are used in our recipes. We offer fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables to encourage your children to try a wide variety of foods. Milk comes with the meal. We offer a choice of whole milk, 1% lowfat milk or 1% chocolate milk.
My child has food allergies.
Parents must contact the school nurse, Jaime Morin, at 673-4434 to discuss their child’s food allergy. Accommodations for allergies can be made by Food Service only upon receipt of the written acknowledgement from a child’s physician on the form available from the school nurse.
How to make a payment
All checks or cash should be in an envelope with the student’s full name and teacher’s name to ensure proper credit. Payment is due every FRIDAY for the upcoming week.
Some parents prefer to mail their checks to us directly to ensure payments are not lost. We accept cash, personal checks, or checks sent directly to us on a regular basis from your bank account. Checks should be made out to Jacques Memorial Elementary School.
Alternatively, parents can set up an account through EZSchoolPay.com (information on setting up an account is on the website or available in the main office), which will allow parents to add money to a child’s account and also monitor what he/she is purchasing through the meal program. Money stays in your child’s account until it is used, so absences and field trips need not be a worry.
Parents are asked to keep sufficient money in their child’s account. Please call us to check your balance. Accounts that are out of money will be closed and no purchase allowed until ample funds are in the account.
We reserve the right to serve an alternative lunch to children who are out of money, so please send your payments in on time. Overdue notices are sent home with children, so please check their backpack daily. If you receive a low balance notice, money should be sent in the next day.
Please make checks payable to the Milford School District. Checks can be mailed to:
