Information About School Breakfast, School Lunch and Payment Options

School Breakfast
All schools have breakfast available from one half hour before school starts for the day.

There is a hot item, (an entrée) served with a fruit or juice, and a milk and an option of cold cereal, or items such as a muffin.

We serve free breakfast to elementary and middle school students (K-7)

The Greenfield Public Schools Nutritional Services extends the privilege of "Universal Breakfast" to all students in the elementary and middle school through a combination of some state and federal programs as well as from funds from the school lunch program.

In the High School, there are hot items available, as well as bagels, English muffins, and cold cereal. We offer a variety of milks, as well as fresh fruit and juices. Pricing is available according to income levels of the family.

At all levels of school, we encourage our students to make an application for free or reduced meals. This simple gesture or the taking of time to fill out this application has a great impact on how the Greenfield Public Schools qualify for additional State and Federal funds.

School Lunch
At the Preschool, there is a daily offering of a hot entrée, with vegetables and fruit. In addition to the hot meal, there is a daily offering of a sandwich meal or a Sun butter and jelly sandwich meal. Prepayment of meals is the preferred option.

In the Elementary level, we offer hot entrees daily, and the availability of a sandwich meal or a Sun butter and Jelly Sandwich. There is a daily selection of fresh and cooked vegetables as well as a variety of fresh and processed fruits. Prepayment of meals is the preferred option.

The Middle School brings an even greater variety of foods. The entrées are a daily selection of a great variety of foods, from pizza to chef salads, and different hot entrees daily. We stress that students start to develop a taste for some of the different fruits and vegetables that are available on a daily basis. Prepayment of meals is the option.

Greenfield High School offers to all of the student body, the ability to vary their diets daily. We offer daily: a hot entrée with fruits and vegetables. A variety of hot sandwiches, a daily pizza offering, and the sandwich bar in which the students may compose a sandwich, wrap, sub, or a sandwich on a bulky roll. The key word at the High School level is one of choice. Students from eighth grade through graduation must assume the responsibility to pay for their own meals.

Payment options
Payment options for parents, if they do not qualify for free meals, include paying at the cash register, daily or in advance for the week, or paying online with a credit card on the Greenfield Public Schools website (www.gpsk12.org).

Look for the "My Nutrikids" logo which is in the Table of Contents on the left hand side of every district Web page. You will need your child's LASID number. The school secretary can give you this information. The number follows your child until graduation from Greenfield Schools. Simply follow the directions and you can pay by credit card or you may make payments at 141 Davis Street, at the Nutritional Services office.

Borrowing (Charging) Meals 2011-2012
(pdf)

The School Lunch/Breakfast program is a non-profit business that is not supported by local tax dollars. All monies needed to operate come from daily revenues and state and federal subsidies. Any funds in excess of those needed for day to day operation are used to purchase new equipment and maintain existing equipment. We are also required to have a reserve to cover periods of decreased revenue.

Since its inception the National School Lunch Program has always had as its premise the desire to ensure that school age children had adequate nourishment. Recent studies have conclusively associated proper nourishment with a child's ability to learn. To that end we have no desire to deny any child the opportunity to eat a meal in the Greenfield Public School Cafeteria; however we cannot allow students to borrow meals without consequence.

The following policies are currently in effect:

Greenfield High School: High School students are presumed to be responsible enough to have money to purchase meals with them daily. High School Students are not allowed to borrow in the cafeteria at all.

Greenfield Middle School: Middle School Students are also presumed to be responsible enough to bring money with them daily. However we recognize that they may forget on occasion. Should a Middle School student forget their lunch money they will be given a cold cheese sandwich and milk. There will be a charge of $ 2.00 made to the student account. And the parent will be notified.

Greenfield Elementary Schools: The computerized point of sale tracks those accounts that have a negative balance. Notices will be sent home at a minimum of every week. If your child owes money to the cafeteria we would appreciate your prompt response. If after five days of "borrowing" the account has not been paid, the student will be given a cold cheese sandwich and milk. There will be a charge of $ 2.00 made to the student account. The parent will be notified. The student will no longer receive meals SEVEN DAYS FROM THE MAILING OF THE COLLECTION LETTER or at the time of mailing if you have exceeded the limits on this type of account. If you need to work out a payment plan (call the individual school cafeteria manager; or need to file an application for free or reduced lunch, please request an additional copy of the application from your school.

If a negative balance exceeds the total of fifteen dollars for a middle school student or thirteen dollars and fifty cents for an elementary student or two dollars and forty cents for a reduced price student, the above will apply. If a student's status changes, the parent must pay the bill in full in order to revert to a regular meal.

For all Greenfield Public School Parents: If you wish to pay ahead for your child/children meals you may do so for your own convenience. There will be a bonus policy of one free meal for every Fifty Dollars paid in advance. In the 2011-2012 school year, payments may be made online. Information will is available on our web site. For further information please go to our website www.gpsk12.org and click on the MyNutrikids.com link. From this link, you may pay your child's account. All you will need is the child's name, student ID number and the zip code 01301. or see our instructions under the GPSK dropdown bar on the website.
