School Meals

The lunch and breakfast program, as well as all food served in the schools, must conform to new district nutrition standards that limit foods high in fat, sodium and sugar. All students are expected to eat in the cafeteria. However, parents who wish to bring food or snacks to school should check first with the teacher to obtain a list of appropriate food items. Students are expected to display appropriate behavior in the cafeteria. This may include cleaning up after themselves and talking at acceptable levels to prevent choking hazards. Child Nutrition issues can be made to www.lenoir.k12.nc.us.

 

Prices

 

Forms to apply for the free and reduced lunch program are distributed at the beginning of the school year and are available in the school office throughout the year. Those children eligible for free lunches are automatically eligible for free breakfast. Be sure that children understand that they go directly from the bus to the cafeteria if they eat breakfast. These are the meal prices for 2009-10. Parents can pay in advance by sending money or a check to the school in an envelop clearly marked “lunch money.”  Checks should be made out to Southwood Cafeteria.  Students with a deficit account will be given an alternative meal as selected by the child nutrition office as approved by the superintendent.
