Sycamore CNS Meal Policies

• Well rounded meals are encouraged.  All students must select a minimum of one serving of fruit at breakfast and a minimum of one serving of fruit or vegetable at lunch with their entree selection.
• With any meal purchase, students may have up to 3 sides with their entree and milk for the same price.
• If students do not have funds on their account, they are allowed to "charge" up to $15.00 in meals.  We do not allow charging for snacks or beverages.
• If the student has reached the charge limit and still have not replenished their meal account, they will be provided with a courtesy meal of a cheese sandwich, fruit, vegetable and white milk.
• Sycamore CNS will send home negative balance letters and emails to notify you of when your student's account balance falls below $0.00.  We ask that you pay this balance within 2 business days to avoid disruption in your student's lunch options.
