Note From the Food Service Department

May, 2017

A note from the Food Service Department…


Dear Parent/Guardian:

Thank you for your participation in our School Meal Programs this year.  As we near the end of the school year, please carefully review the following points regarding lunch accounts.

Active accounts will retain their balances.  If a student leaves the district, the account is no longer active; a refund of the inactive balance must be requested from Food Service within 6 months.  Inactive balances remaining after 6 months will be considered a donation to the Food Service Fund.  Balances may be refunded or transferred to a sibling’s account or to the Giving Tree lunch account to be used at their discretion for those in need.  Please direct account-related communications to a Food Service Cashier (see contact information below).

Cashiers communicate account balances to students before the end of the school year.  Please be sure to send a lunch from home if your student has a negative balance or insufficient account funds that would result in having to charge meal purchases; CHARGING IS NOT ALLOWED in our final weeks of school. 

The MySchoolBucks (MSB) web-based payment program will be inactivated after June 7 until mid-August.  Please plan payments before or after that period.  BE SURE TO DISABLE YOUR AUTO-PAY FUNCTION if you want to minimize balances and avoid automatic payments being made toward the end of the year.  Also to avoid payment conflicts upon return, please review and update your MSB account as needed—e.g., if your student has changed sites or your bank card has changed/expired.

Current free or reduced price meal eligibility will expire OCTOBER 17, 2018.  Carryover eligibility applies only to 2016-17 students.  New applications must be submitted each year.  Updated forms and instructions will be mailed to households in August and also linked here http://www.hssd.k12.wi.us/#!blank/b2he1 on our Food Service web page.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions/concerns about this or any other aspect of our School Meal Programs.  Be sure to also check out our Snack Bag Program offered as a convenience to those participating in summer school.  Thank you again for your contributing to the success of our programs.  Enjoy your summer!
