Goose Creek CISD knows that sometimes families forget lunch money. We have a plan to ensure that students can receive a meal during times when the child's meal account is low or negative. The Emergency Meal Policy applies to all grade levels. The emergency meal policy applies to lunch meals only. All GCCISD students can eat breakfast without charge, regardless of free, reduced or paid meal status.
The Nutrition Services Department wants to:
- Feed all students.
- Make sure that every student has a completed meal application on file.
- Ensure it is common knowledge that parents are responsible to pay for all lunches eaten until their student is approved for free and/or reduced price meals.
- Notify families whose students have unpaid meal charges through phone calls, letters and call-outs from the school staff and / or Nutrition Services campus staff.
Policy:
A student will be allowed to charge 10 emergency meals.
- Phone calls will be made to parents through the school messenger system.
- Once a student has charge 10 meals, then the student will receive a sandwich and juice only.
- Students will not be able to charge snack items while they have a negative meal account balance.
