Little Chute School District Food Service
It has been proven that students need good nutrition to feed their minds and bodies, which enables them to learn while in school. Our goal is to provide high quality, safe, and healthy meals to every Little Chute School District student while providing the best customer service possible.
Payments

Wordware is the computerized prepayment system for school meals in our district. The computerized meal ticket system is a declining balance system where funds are placed in advance on the account, and purchases are drawn against the balance. The program is not a credit card type system. Student PIN (Personal Identification Number) serves as lunch cards so each student in the district has a Wordware account. Our policy requires all student accounts must be active and current and have a positive balance in order to purchase lunch [for full and reduced priced meals], extra milk or a la carte items.

If an elementary and middle student’ account balance becomes low, a letter will be sent home to inform parents in the Tuesday take home folder.  A low balance is defined as an account balance with $5.00 or less. E-mail notices are sent daily through intranet.  If you’d like notification via e-mail, please contact the Foodservice Director at wwatson@littlechute.k12.wi.us. At $0.00 or below, no student will be allowed to charge any a la carte whatsoever.  When the balance is at   -$5.00, a cheese sandwich and milk will be issued up to 3 days.   At that point if the account has not been brought up to a positive balance, students will not be able to participate in the lunch program.  At the M/H school, cash is accepted. Parents should discuss meal and a la carte purchasing guidelines with their children on a regular basis to prevent unwelcome purchases to their account.

We offer several forms of payment options.  Payments are accepted by check or cash. Payments by check or cash must be in a sealed envelope and the envelope must contain family name and student lunch ID to assist in crediting the proper account.  Payments need to be placed in the Lunch Drop box location at each building.  All payments are credited to the family accounts by 10 am each day.

All balances, positive or negative in a student lunch account at the end of the school year will be transferred with the student to the next grade.  In the last two weeks of school, students will not be allowed to make any purchases if the account is not running positive balance.  Any refunds of $5.00 or more for students leaving the district must be made in writing to:  Windy Watson, Food Service Director, Little Chute Area School District, 325 Meulemans St, Little Chute, WI 54140.
