All Keene schools have computerized food service operations. All students will be given a numerical ID number, which they will enter when they go through the cafeteria line. Parents are encouraged to pay for meals on a monthly basis on the first Monday of the month. When 15 meals are paid for in advance your child will receive one free meal. Weekly payments on Monday’s will still be acceptable. Parents should record their child’s first and last name and the teacher’s name on a clearly marked payment envelope or check. Payments will be collected in the classrooms on Mondays. Each teacher has an envelope that the students put their payment into. The envelope is then brought down to the kitchen for the school lunch staff to post the money into the individual student’s account. Unfortunately, payments cannot be accepted as the children go through the cafeteria line for sanitary reasons. All checks should be made payable to "Keene School Lunch".

For those students who received free or reduced price meals last year, it will be necessary to re-apply by September 30, 2007 for the 2007-2008 school year. Applications will be sent home on the first day of school and can be returned directly to the School Lunch Office at 77 Arch Street, Keene, NH. The address will also be on the application. You will be notified by mail as to the determination of the application. We urge all who believe they may be eligible to apply. If you need assistance with this process, please call the school principal or guidance counselor.

It has always been the policy of the Food Service Department to allow a student the courtesy to have lunch even if they do not have the money that day to pay for it. This courtesy is for emergency purposes only. If your child’s account exceeds the cost of one weeks worth of unpaid meals ($8.25) he/she is no longer eligible to receive snack drink until the balance is clear.

We look forward to serving your children fun and healthy meals that meet and exceed State and Federal nutritional requirements. Please call the School Food Service office with any questions at 357-9011.
