Food Service/Cafeteria
Students are served meals
in accordance with the guidelines of the National School Lunch Program. Students
may choose from a variety of selections. Parents are encouraged to write checks
to Scales Cafeteria and send on the FIRST day of the week. Place the check in
a sealed envelope with the child's name on it. PLEASE send a separate check
for each child as the teacher keeps a record of each payment; e.g. if there
are three students in a family, three checks need to be sent. Parents must indicate
on the money envelope if the money is to be used for breakfast, ala-carte items
or lunch. All money will be entered into the LUNCH account
unless otherwise noted. Scales does participate in the federally funded
free and reduced breakfast and lunch program. Applications are available in
the school office, and approval is based on your income. No
canned soft drinks should be sent to school. Charges are not
acceptable in the cafeteria. If your child comes to school without lunch money,
they may be served an alternate meal, generally a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
and milk.
We always encourage parents and grandparents to come and dine with their students at breakfast or lunch. The guest price for breakfast is $1.25 and for lunch $3.00. We consider adults dining with students to be excellent role models for all children. Plus, the adult's experience of going through the serving line with the child can be very rewarding for both child and adult. By the adult demonstrating proper nutrition choices when they dine in what is traditionally considered "the student's world," we have found it to be an invaluable lesson for children. Therefore, we greatly discourage your bringing in food from outside sources when you come to Scales to dine with your student. Murfreesboro City Schools' department of school nutrition strives to make school meals healthy and nutritious each day. Your demonstrated support of the cafeteria program is greatly appreciated.
