Greeneview Local Schools believes strongly that nutritious meals are a vital component to a healthy school environment.  Research shows that students who participate in the school meal programs consume more whole grains, milk, fruits, and vegetables during meal times and have better overall diet quality than nonparticipants. Eating breakfast at school is associated with better attendance rates, fewer missed school days, and better test scores (Source: Division of Population Health, National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion).

To ensure that all students have access to healthy school meals and to be good financial stewards, Greeneview Student Nutrition Services has instituted a charge policy for all of its schools.  This policy has as its guiding principle the belief that every student deserves nutritious meals, but that ultimately it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to provide one.  To that end, the Elementary charge policy is as follows:

• Students will be allowed to charge a maximum of $35.00.

• After a $35.00 charge is reached, the student will be given an alternate meal consisting of a cheese sandwich or similar substitution, a vegetable or fruit, and a milk.

Communication regarding negative balances will be made to the parent/guardian.  Parents/guardians will receive automatic notifications via text and/or email regarding negative balances.  Phone calls from the School Nutrition office and/or the school office may also be made.  You can check your student’s account balance at any time at Pay Schools Central.  Families facing financial difficulties are encouraged to apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits through Pay Schools at any time during the school year.
