SNAP

  The Food Service Program at Pleasant Valley Community Schools runs on a computerized program called WinSNAP.

Each student has a customized account number for food service items.  This is a debit account, not a credit account.  This means money is deposited into the account and the student can purchase food items using their account.  At the secondary level the student will enter his/her account number into a keypad.  A food service cashier will then debit the price of food items for purchase.

For elementary students, a scan sheet, similar to what is currently used in the media centers, will be used to identify each student and their account.  At any time, you may call the office to request a printout that identifies the fund balance and items purchased on your child's account.  You may make a deposit into the account at any time by sending cash or check to the school office.  We request that if possible, a minimum of $5.00 be deposited at any one time.  If a student has cash with them, no change will be given when a food item is purchased since this is a debit system.  For example, if a student has $5.00 and purchases $1.85 worth of food items, the remaining $3.15 will be placed into their account for future use.

For grades K-8, the system will generate a low balance letter when your child's account reaches a balance that totals five days of hot lunch purchases.  This letter will be sent home with your child.  If there is no money in the account, the purchase will be charged (K-8 only, High School students are not allowed to charge) and the student will have a negative account balance.  This balance may accumulate to an amount that totals 5 days of hot lunch prices.  Prices for Food Service items 2010-2011 are:

In addition,  kindergarten students will have the option to participate in a programs called Snack Milk, which is a morning snack break with milk.  This is paid for from a totally different account than the WinSNAP account.  The price for Snack Milk is $36.00 per semester or $72.00 per year.  This is payable in August at Back To School Night.
