NEWS

Parents may conveniently make on-line payments from home, allowing their student to purchase food without the use of cash. This program was implemented August 20,2007.

Parents may establish a school lunch account at www.mySchoolbucks.com. For those who do not wish to pay for meals on-line, the standard cash payment system will remain in effect at all schools.

The Grossmont Union High School District Food Services Department is now on a computerized "Touch N Serve" Point-of-Sale software called "Schoolhouse". Students are able to go to any computerized point-of-sale to receive a national school meal or ala carte item. All students must use their school ID card or ID number to make purchases. The primary benefits of the new system are that lines move faster, participation has increased and, most importantly, needy students may participate at no cost without other students knowing their qualification category.

A component of Schoolhouse called mySchoolBucks will allow students and parents to pre-pay for meals through a credit and debit-card system that is integrated with the Point-of-Sale system. Parents may conveniently make on-line deposits from home, allowing their student to purchase food without the use of cash. For more information on mySchoolBucks, please call the Food Service office at 619-644-8183.

Lunch meal pricing is now tiered according to the price of the entrée: $2.25, $2.50, $2.75, and $3.25.

Breakfast pricing will increase from $1.50 to $1.75 for the 2007-2008 school year. This increase is necessary because food costs continue to rise and fuel costs are unstable.

Early in the 2007-2008 school year all students will complete a written assessment of their nutrition and physical activity. This assessment will be conducted at school and will ask your student about his/her nutrition and physical activity both at school and during non-school hours. The results of the assessment will be used to examine curriculum and physical education needs and to provide direction for expansion of District Wellness Policy.

 

Our Mission is…

“To work as a team to provide nutritious meals to all students and staff with quality service in a positive professional manner, while maintaining a sound financial position”.

We operate under the guidelines of the National School Lunch/Breakfast Program. Quality school breakfast and lunch programs are available and accessible to all students.  USDA approved software is used to analyze all menus to ensure that they meet the targeted goals set by the NSLP for the “Nutrient Standard Menu Planning Option”. The program is self-supporting and does not require financial support from the district’s general fund. The revenue generated by the Food Service Department must pay for all labor, food and supplies, new equipment or equipment repairs, facilities maintenance, utilities and trash, custodial, and other  direct and indirect costs. A budget independent from the District budget is formulated based upon departmental goals, revenue, and expenditure projections using current participation trends.
