The lunch period is from 12:15 p.m. to 12:55 p.m and is divided into two sections:
Lunches are served for $1.75, including milk. Milk alone is 50 cents. A 'rotating' Lunch Menu will be sent home, however substitutions are sometimes made without notice. Click here for the district's lunch menu page. Free/Reduced lunch applications are sent home at the beginning of the school year and are also available in the school office. These MUST be renewed annually in September. Each student enrolled at Curie has a personal meal account, just like a bank, with a personal meal account number. During lunch time in the cafeteria students enter their personal meal account number on a keypad. Students certified for free meals receive their meal free. Students who pay the full or reduced rate can either have the meal charge deducted from their account or pay cash to the cashier. We encourage students to prepay into their personal meal account. This can be done by placing money (cash or check, made payable to Curie Elementary School) in a sealed envelope with the following information clearly printed on the front of the envelope:
This envelope should be turned into the office by the student BEFORE going to class in the morning. You may also use a credit card to put money into an account. If you are interested in this method of payment, please call or stop by the office for detailed instructions or pay online through PayPAMS. Lunch LoansThe office is only able to make a few lunch loans and these will only be issued on an extreme emergency basis. If your child forgets lunch or milk money, forgets to bring lunch, or has depleted their account, s/he may need to go without lunch. To avoid this, please make sure that your child's lunch has been provided for each day. If your child does borrow money, will you please pay the loan back immediately so money is always available for other students. Thank you |
