Dear Parents: 

If you believe your child/children may qualify for free or reduced price meals, please send the form back to school immediately so your child can start receiving the benefits of this program as soon as possible. They must pay for lunches until the application has been approved. 

If your child was approved for free or reduced last year, this information does not carry over to this school year. You will need to fill out a new form. Please fill out one form per family, listing each student and the school they attend. 

Need Help? If you need help filling this form out, please call 262-348-1015. If your child is approved for Free or Reduced Lunch, this will qualify them to have one regular breakfast, and one regular lunch. Students will be charged for a la carte items, additional lunches and extra milk with meals. If your child is in elementary school and qualifies for free or reduced meals, they are also qualified to receive milk at break time. 

All students will have an account in our system for purchasing lunches. Each student must have money in their account BEFORE purchasing lunch. We will try to notify students in the line when they are getting low on money; however, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that their child has adequate funds available for purchasing lunch. 

Making Payments by Check: Make payable to LG Schools Food Service. Please write student name(s) in "memo" area of check. Separate checks are required for each school. If you are writing a check for more than one child, please write down the amount you wish to apply to each child's account. Milk payment needs to be separate from meal payment. Balances will carry over from year to year. 

Student Balances: are available online if you have signed up for PowerSchool access. If your child’s balance has dropped below $-10.00, you will receive a weekly automated phone call/text. If you would like to know your child’s account balance, please call your school kitchen and we will be happy to provide that information to you. We offer many different a la carte choices at the middle school and high school, so there is a possibility your child will be spending more than the cost of a regular lunch if they are purchasing “extras”. Please make checks payable to L.G. Jt. 1 Schools Food Service. Checks should be written for the exact amount you would like credited to their food account. WE WILL NOT GIVE CASH BACK TO THE STUDENT. Students must have an ID card to purchase lunches. The first card will be issued at no cost. However, we will charge $1.00 for replacement cards. 

Negative Balances: If your child had a negative balance in their account last year, this amount will carry forward and needs to paid immediately. Please send a check to: Lake Geneva Schools Administration Office, 208 South St., Lake Geneva, WI 53147 (Attention: Jaclyn Sanders). 

Special Dietary Needs: If your child has a medically documented food allergy, please contact us and also notify your child’s teacher. 

Please call us at any time at 348-1015 if you have any questions or concerns.

Estimados Padres:

Si usted cree que su(s) hijo/a(s) puede(n) calificar para comidas gratis o de precio reducido, por favor devuelva esta forma a la escuela inmediatamente, para que su hijo/a puede comenzar a recibir los beneficios de este programa lo más pronto posible. Usted necesita pagar para la comida hasta que la solicitud/aplicación sea aprobada.

Si su hijo/a fue aprobado/a para comidas gratis o reducidas el pasado año escolar, esta información no es transferida hacia este nuevo año escolar, USTED NECESITA COMPLETAR UNA NUEVA FORMA.  Por favor complete una forma por familia, alistando cada estudiante y la escuela que asisten.

¿Necesita Ayuda? Si usted necesita ayuda completando esta forma, por favor llame al 262-348- 1015 o 262-348-4005 (español). Si su hijo/a es aprobado/a para Comidas Gratis o Reducidas, él/ella recibirá un desayuno regular y un almuerzo regular. Los estudiantes serán cobrados por artículos a la carta, almuerzos adicionales y leches adicionales con las comidas. Si su hijo/a esta asiste a una escuela primaria y califica por comidas gratis o reducidas, él/ella también calificara recibir la leche gratis durante la merienda.

Haciendo Pagos por Cheque: Llene el cheque a la orden de LG Schools Food Service. Por favor escriba el/los nombre(s) en el área indicado memo. Cheques separados son requeridos para cada escuela. Si está escribiendo un cheque para más de un estudiante, por favor escriba la cantidad que desea depositar en cada cuenta. El pago para la Leche de Merienda (Descanso de Leche) necesita ser separado al pago de las comidas. Los saldos se trasladarán de ano a ano.

Saldos Estudiantiles: Los saldos están disponibles si usted se ha registrado para acceso al programa PowerSchool. Notificaciones son enviadas semanalmente en las escuelas primarias cuando su hijo/a necesita fondos adicionales. Incluso, si el saldo de su hijo/a esta menos de $5.00 es posible que reciba una llamada automatizada. Si usted gusta informarse sobre el saldo de su hijo/a, por favor comuníquese con la cocina de la escuela y ellos estarán disponibles proveerle esa información. Nosotros ofrecemos diferentes opciones a la carta en las escuelas intermedia y secundaria, por lo tanto, puede ser posible que su hijo/a este gastando más del precio regular para almuerzo si están comprando “cosas adicionales”. Por favor llene los cheques a la orden de LG Schools Food Service. Los cheques deberán ser hechos a la cantidad exacta que le gustaría ser acreditada al saldo. NOSOTROS NO LE REGRESAREMOS DINERO EN EFECTIVO AL ESTUDIANTE. Los estudiantes tienen una tarjeta de identificación para comprar comida/almuerzo. La primera tarjeta es gratis. Sin embargo, serán cobrados $1.00 para reemplazar la tarjeta.

Saldos Negativos: Si su hijo/a tiene un saldo negativo desde el año pasado, ese saldo será trasladado a este ano y necesita ser pagado inmediatamente. Por favor envié su cheque a:

Administration Office, 208 South St., Lake Geneva, WI 53147 (Atención: Jaclyn Sanders).

Alergias a los Alimentos: Si su hijo/a tiene una alergia documentada medicamente, por favor comuníquese con nosotros y también notifique a el/la maestro/a de su hijo/a.

Por favor llámenos cuando sea al 348-1015 si tiene alguna pregunta o preocupación.

If a student has a balance of 0 or below, they will not be allowed to purchase a la carte items.   If the balance drops below -$50.00, and the family has NOT responded to the reminder letter, we will send a balance reminder letter/email/phone call/text.  This information will notify the parent that they need to send a cold lunch to school until funds are available in the meal account.  If funds are not received, and the balance drops below $-$50.00, we will notify the family by e-mail and/or phone.  If the account balance reaches $-$50.00, the Food Service Coordinator will contact the family to determine what steps will be necessary to help with the balance.
