SCHOOL MILK OPTIONS
Low-fat white or chocolate milk is only free WITH A REIMBURSABLE school breakfast and/or lunch. Requirements for reimbursable meals are set by the National School Lunch Program and are enforced by the Maine Department of Education. To be eligible for reimbursement, specific nutritional components must be offered at each meal and students must take at least three (3) of them.
We offer low-fat white or chocolate milk for $.50. If your child would like to purchase one to have with their home lunch or if they would like a second carton with their reimbursable meal. Payment options are included below:
OPTION 1:
You can send a sum of money to be added to your student’s lunch account. Each milk taken by your student will be deducted from the account balance until it reaches a zero balance, at which time you would send in additional funds. The district no longer allows students to charge to their account unless there is a positive balance.
OPTION 2:
You can send $0.50 with your child each day to purchase the milk.
OPTION 3:
The child can add two other components with the milk and make it a reimbursable meal and the milk will be at no charge. However, each meal allows for only one milk per student, so if they want a second, they will have to pay $.50.
If your child has a negative balance on their account, you will be receiving a letter in the mail. Please pay the balance as soon as possible.
