Food Services
 Philosophy
The goal of the Abbey Food Service Team is to provide good, healthy, nutritious meals to all students and staff of every school we represent. The meals are provided at very reasonable prices for those who pay the full price and are subsidized by the USDA for families qualifying for assistance. We provide programs with many choices and variety but also run them on extremely small margins. Therefore to maintain control over student and adult account balances, we enforce the following guidelines to ensure a fiscal and sound program.
1. We notify each student when they have less than one meal left on their lunch account. This way they will know to bring a check in the next day. We do not allow any charging that would put an account in a negative balance.
2. Please make check payable to the Abbey Group. Please include your child’s name and account ID number on the check memo.
3. If you would like to allow your child to purchase ala carte items on their account, please send a note in giving your child permission. These items include but not limited to, French fries, chips, cookies, ice cream, snacks, juice, milk, extra meals, and any items not purchased as a meal. We encourage all children to purchase a healthy nutritious lunch prior to purchasing ala arte items.

Emergency Lunch Policy
All students will be allowed one meal on an emergency basis (lost or forgotten money) But all accounts are subject to the Student/Adult Account Policy. Also any student may receive a sandwich and milk if account remains a negative balance. * A maximum $.75 charge will be applied for sandwich and milk. Please call the school food service to find out your child’s account balance. We send home low cash letters weekly and payment should be made promptly, so that your child does not have to receive an emergency lunch. A simple call to the school can avoid an embarrassing situation.
Snack Drink Policy
All students participating in school offered snack programs must pay for any milk or juice received from food service at time of service, regardless of income eligibility.
No charging of snack drinks will be allowed. All meals come with a beverage that is included in the price.
