Dear Parents and Guardians,
As you know, the Elsberry R-II School District operates under Policy 5550, which outlines our Food Service Program procedures. The purpose of this policy is to maintain consistent meal account practices throughout the District. Unpaid lunch charges place a financial strain on District resources, and the Food Service Department is responsible for maintaining records and notifying the District’s accounting office of any outstanding balances.
This policy has been shared multiple times through email and social media. Beginning October 1, 2025, if your student(s) have a lunch account balance that exceeds $26.00, the student will be given a designated menu alternate, or you may choose to send a lunch from home.
The Board of Education has both the responsibility to uphold District policies and the obligation to make sound financial decisions on behalf of our students, families, and community. Ensuring the financial health of the District allows us to continue providing high-quality educational experiences for all students.
If you believe your family qualifies for free or reduced-price meals and have not yet completed the required paperwork, we have attached the necessary forms to this email. Once completed and approved, any existing lunch debt will be waived. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o979DrNrELuYm6hn6XXmxoMEuQqKNoHL/view?usp=sharing
Meal Charge Policy
We have also updated our Meal Charge Policy to ensure consistent expectations and communication around student meal accounts. We encourage all families to review this policy carefully to understand the guidelines related to meal charges and account balances.
