USDA Nondiscrimination Statement

St. Rose's lunch program is an Offer vs. Serve program. This means that students do not have to take every lunch item served that day, but are offered food options. The students choose what they want from those options. However, students are required to take a minimum of three items, one of which must be a serving of fruit or vegetable. This allows us to serve students with the foods they prefer to eat while reducing waste.

Lunches do not need to be ordered in advance. Each morning, the classroom teacher takes the lunch count and it is sent down to the office. This daily count will allow the cafeteria staff to prepare an adequate number of meals.

Second milk - $0.50
Extra Entree - $1.75

Family Lunch Accounts

Lunch accounts will be managed as “family” accounts. Families are asked to make a prepayment for lunch at the beginning of each month. Payments may also be made quarterly, bi-annually, or for the entire year. At the beginning of the month, a balance sheet will be sent home to each family. If there is a positive sign (+) that is the amount that is currently in the account. If there is a negative sign (-) that is the amount still owed. Negative balances should be paid with the next monthly payment. At the end of the year, all accounts should be paid in full. Those accounts with a negative balance will receive a letter requesting the amount owed.
Those with a credit balance will be able to choose from these options:

1. roll it over to the next school year
2. receive a cash refund, or
3. donate the credit balance to the cafeteria fund.
