Welcome Back Families!!!
We hope you all had a safe and happy summer. The School Nutrition Staff are excited to have students and staff back in the building.
Our status as a CEP (Community Eligibility Program) school has been renewed for another year. This designation means all students will continue to receive free meals. Each student is eligible to received one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day. Also, with this designation, families will not be required to fill out Free and Reduced forms.
Should your student wish to purchase a second meal, the cost will be $2.00 for breakfast and $3.50 for lunch. If your student will be bringing in a meal from home and would like to purchase milk only, the cost is $.50.
The Family Portal will be available again this year to deposit funds to student and staff accounts. I highly recommend setting up a free account. You can check history, choose restrictions, move funds between accounts and set up low balance alerts. The Family Portal link is quaboagrsd.familyportal.cloud
The link can also be found on the school’s website under the Nutrition Tab. There is a $3.00 fee to add funds to an account. If you have multiple students, I recommend adding to only one account with one fee. You can then move the funds between accounts free of charge.
UniPay is also available for online payments, however, it does take a few days to process. Of course, cash can always be used at the cash register.
Our Healthe Pro menu platform is up and running. This program allows you to click on any menu item and it displays the Nutritional breakdown of that item. You can find the menus by going to myschoolmenus.com. Once you get to the menu there are links on the page for the App. It is free to use and handy to have on your phone for quick reference. It also has print capabilities if you prefer to have the menu on your fridge.
Please make sure to submit any allergy or dietary restrictions to the school nurse as soon as possible. We can provide alternate meals to students who need them. USDA requires us to have a doctor’s note on file with the school nurse stating any dietary restrictions. Notes from a parent or guardian do not qualify as a means of notification. It must be from a doctor’s office.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Thank you from the entire Food Service Staff!
