We are already excited about the upcoming school year! We continue to add school lunch options that are healthy, and what students want to eat. This year we will have even more options available

every day for breakfast. If your school offers breakfast, we encourage your student to try it!! Your child eats a healthy breakfast, and you have more time in the morning!

**New this year, our new menus will reflect proven STUDENT FAVORITES at each school!
Each K-8 school will have a different, school favorite specific, cycle menu.
High Schools will have the same menu format, but featuring the student favorites. The new menus for 2017-2018 will be posted on  www.sylvaniaschools.org
after July 1, 2017.  Menus will be updated again after winter break.

We encourage parents to deposit money online into the student’s account at www.myschoolbucks.com  or to send a check or cash with your student to school. Funds will be deposited by the next business day.  When sending in money, please include the student’s  ID  number on the check and envelope, so it is deposited into the correct account.  All information is securely contained within our point of sale system.

Our system allows students to charge full meals and carry a balance. We will not take food from a child in the lunch line. Lunch charges will be the responsibility of the student’s parent or guardian and will be collected like other student fees. Monthly letters are sent home for any lunch account balance over $20.00 in arrears. Quarterly, all lunch account balances with charges over $10.00 in arrears are transferred to the student’s Power School
account and collected by the treasurer with other school fees. We ask that you submit a request via email to jshamy@sylvaniaschools.org or in writing to the food services department if you do not want your student to be able to charge meals. There is a variety of ways to configure your student’s account. For example, we can set a per day cash limit. You may call the food service office at 419-824-8511 to discuss the options available.

For families that need assistance with school lunches, our free and reduced meal application will be available online after August 1, 2017 at www.sylvania.heartlandapps.com. The online application is private, easy and submitted electronically. During the regular school year, we process these each morning.  All students who were approved last year for free or reduced meals will need to fill out a new application this year and will be on a temporary status through September 2017. Please fill out the online application as soon as possible to avoid loss of benefits after this date. If needed, paper copies of the free and reduced meal application will be kept in the schools’ main offices after August 1, 2017 or may be obtained at Student Services, Administration Building,
4747 N. Holland- Sylvania Road.

We thank you for the growing support of our cafeteria program. We are feeding and educating children to make a difference.

Sincerely,

Joseph Shamy
Director, Purchasing & Food Service
