PPS Lunch Account Charge Policy

PK-8th Grade

Students whose accounts have a charge of $10 for insufficient funds will no longer be allowed to  charge. Students who have a negative balance of $10 will be given a verbal notice and the  lunchroom secretary will attempt to contact the parent/guardian by phone, email and/or letter.  These students will receive an alternative meal of cereal, non-flavored milk and fruit for  breakfast. For lunch, students will receive an alternative meal consisting of a sandwich, non flavored milk, and fruit or vegetable. This meal is a low-cost reimbursable meal and the  student’s account will be charged as such. An alternative meal will be served until payment is  received, including partial payment, or upon approval for a free or reduced-price meal. The child  nutrition manager will attempt to make arrangements for a student to receive an alternative  meal in a manner which will reduce the possibility of embarrassing the student.
