If a students’ account balance becomes low, a weekly reminder will be sent out to parents.  A low balance is defined as an account balance with $5.00 or less.  When the account reaches $0 or below, a la carte purchases will not be allowed.  Families are required to pay in advance for the lunch program and should maintain a positive balance in their account.  The School Board Policy states that each family will be given a line of credit not to exceed $25.00.  After reaching this limit, students will not be allowed to take part in the lunch / breakfast program until payment has been made and a positive balance has been established.  Parents should discuss meal and a la carte purchasing guidelines with their children on a regular basis to prevent unwelcome purchases.

Payments are accepted by check or cash. Payments by check or cash must be in a sealed envelope and the envelope must contain student or family name, lunch ID and account number to assist in crediting the proper account

Any money remaining in a student lunch account at the end of the school year will be transferred with the student to the next grade. Any refunds of $5.00 or more for students leaving the district must be made in writing to:  Connie Vacho, Food Service Director, Monticello School District, 334 South Main St. Monticello, WI 53570.  Request for refund forms are available at all school offices.
