Welcome to the 2011 – 2012 School Year!!! Stonington Public School’s participates in the national school meals program. Breakfast is served daily at every school and includes one serving of fruit of juice, two servings of bread and/or cereal (or one serving of bread and one serving of protein) and 1/2 pint of low-fat milk. We offer a wide variety of breakfast entrees each day, such as: cheese omelets, egg sandwiches on English muffins, biscuits or bagels, waffles, bagels, French toast, fruit turnovers, muffins and several choices of cereal. All students who are eligible for free or reduced lunch are also eligible for free or reduced breakfast. Reduced breakfast is $.30 in all schools. A good breakfast is essential to proper nutrition, aids in concentration and gets the body up and running. Breakfast supplies the necessary “food for thought” that all students need! Breakfast price this year will remain the same at: Elementary School $1.25 Middle and High School $1.50 The lunch program offers a different entree every day as indicated on the monthly menu. Students not wishing to purchase the offered menu entrée may choose to purchase an alternative lunch. The elementary school alternative lunch is a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, the middle schools offer freshly prepared grinders or chef’s salad, and the high school features a pasta station, grinder station and a full salad bar. All alternative meals are served with vegetables, fruit and milk. Milk is available for purchase each day in all schools for $.50. Lunch price this year will remain the same at: Elementary $2.50 Middle and High $2.75 We offer several different payment options. Students may pay daily at the time of service, or use a pre-paid account with any amount of money. Students using the pre-paid meal option will be assigned a three or four digit pin number which they will enter into a PIN pad each day they purchase a meal, milk, fresh fruit or water. Please note: Students will not be allowed to use accounts to purchase snacks. The “no charge” policy will be strictly enforced at the middle and high schools!!! Please place all prepayment cash and checks in an envelope addressed with students name and pin number. If you do not know your child’s PIN number, please call Tim Paquette at 860-599-0766. Make checks payable to: S.P.S. Nutrition Services. To view account balances, make on line payments, or receive low balance notifications visit EZPay using the link on our district website stonington.org/nutrition. Yearly payment for elementary lunch is $450.00. Yearly payment for middle and high school lunch is $495.00. Unused balances will remain in student’s accounts or can be transferred to a siblings account and can be used the next school year. EZPay deposits will be posted to accounts beginning August 29, 2011. At the end of August, an Alert Now e-mail was sent to all households with information on applying for free and reduced meals. If you did not receive this e-mail, the 2011-2012 free and reduced applications are available on our web page stonington.org/nutrition. If you do not have a computer at home, please call 860-599-0766 or the office of your child’s school to request an application packet be sent home with your child. If your child received free or reduced meals last year, he/she may continue to do so; however, a new application must be filed as soon as possible. Families on food stamps or TFA are exempt from filling out an application. Please contact Tim Paquette, Food Service Director, at 860-599-0766 or email at tpaquette@stoningtonschools.org if you have questions.Sincerely, Tim Paquette |
