Lunch

Lunch and recess
ACA schedules lunch periods along with recess. Students may bring their lunch or purchase a hot lunch from the cafeteria. Food is not to be carried out of the lunchroom and students are not to leave school for lunch. Lunches may not be refrigerated or heated by ACA staff members or volunteers. Soda and gum are not to be on the property at anytime. Soda will be permitted on special occasions such as class parties and or for fundraising purposes. If a student forgets his lunch, a lunch may be dropped off at the school office. The student’s teacher will be notified that a lunch is waiting in the office. Please be sure that lunches are labeled clearly. Students without lunch will be offered peanut butter and jelly and charged accordingly.

Paying for school lunches
To purchase lunch, each student must set up a prepaid lunch voucher, which works like a debit card. Parents put money into an account for each child and as they eat lunch, the office deducts $2.50 for hot lunch, $.50 for milk or juice, $1.35 for pizza and $3.00 for salads and sandwiches from the teacher menu. When the voucher gets low, parents will be notified to replenish it. If there is a remaining balance at the end of the year, that balance will be refunded. Please be mindful of the balance on your child’s lunch account. Students with a negative account balance will not be able to order.
