MEDICATIONS If your child needs to
take any medication (prescription or “over-the-counter) during the
school day the office must be informed. Medications MUST
be in the original, correctly labeled prescription or non-prescription
bottle with the student’s name, dosage of medication and when it is to be
given LUNCH PROGRAM For several years now, Western School District Food Service has operated a debit account system for the food services program. Upon enrolling, each student is assigned an identification number which is automatically set up as a debit account for that student. Students or parents may then deposit money into their accounts and use the money as needed for various food items (breakfast, lunch, milk, etc.). The amount of each purchase is then subtracted from individual accounts. For those children who participate in the school food service program, we strongly recommend that parents deposit money into their child’s account on a monthly basis. Parents are responsible for monitoring the balance in their child’s account. Student balances are available to them during the school day until 1:30 p.m. Parents who have questions regarding their child’s account should call the kitchen at their child’s respective school. Other food service related questions should be directed to our food service director at 841-8260. Depositing funds into a student account is most easily accomplished by dropping off a check at the school or by sending a check with the child. Each elementary building has a designated drop box for breakfast/lunch deposits, the contents of which are emptied and recorded on a daily basis. Please make checks payable to Western School District. GUIDELINES REGARDING BREAKFAST/LUNCH CHARGES Students are not allowed to run negative balances in their accounts. Students who to not have money in their accounts on any given day will be served an alternative meal consisting of a peanut butter sandwich and milk. We cannot emphasize enough how important it is for all parents to monitor their children’s food service accounts on a regular basis. You can access this information on E-link on the district’s web sight www.westernschools.org . Forms for signing up for E-link are in the school office. Free/Reduced Lunch Forms are available from the office in each building. Forms must be completed for each child on a yearly basis. Menus are available to students on a monthly basis.
