From the Cafeteria:
Attention Parents a reminder from the cafeteria:
Parents please be mindful of the balance in your child's account, these accounts are meant to work as a prepay system, therefore keeping charges to a minimum.
Those students with free or reduced meal status from last year must renew their application every year. Current benefits will run out on Monday September 16th. Please do not wait until the last minute to get your application in, the application must be processed by September 16th and that process can take up to 10 business days. Paper applications are available in the front office or the cafeteria. Online applications are a much quicker method and can be accessed at
http://gwinnett.schoollunchapp.com. If you have already done either of these processes, thank you, and you can check the status of your application at
http://gwinnett.schoollunchstatus.com. If you allow your benefits to run out your child's status automatically goes to full pay and you will be responsible for any charges occurred doing the time of no benefits.
If you every have questions about your student's account you may call Doris Brewer, Cafeteria Manager at 770-736-4512. Thank You
THIS INSTITUTION IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY PROVIDER.
