The SCS School Lunch Program strongly encourages
parents to make payments to your child’s account by the week or month,
in the form of a check if possible, as that is the easiest way to keep
track of balances. Checks can be made payable to SCS School Lunch Fund.
For elementary students please remember to put payments in an envelope
labeled with your child’s full name (and names of any siblings that are
to receive account payments) and teacher’s name. »
BREAKFAST & LUNCH PRICES FOR 2008-2009
Meal Charging Policy Students that have “debits” or negative balance in their account are not permitted to purchase snacks (e.g., ice cream, chips, etc.). Also, students may “charge” or debit the POS up to $9.00. Then parents will be contacted, and students will be offered a peanut butter sandwich and milk until the charges/debits are paid. Thank you for your continued support of the SCS School Lunch/Breakfast Program!

School Lunch/Breakfast Account Status Receipts Since we have started the new Point of Sale (POS) cash register system there have been many inquiries about student’s account balances. Therefore, we have begun printing a cash register receipt for students putting money in their account, and for students with debits or negative account balance. These receipts are given to students when the transaction is made and contain the account balance. If the receipt has “Balance CR,” that means credit, and the student has a positive balance in their account, if the receipt has “Balance DB,” that means debit, and the student has a negative balance (or “charges) on their account. Parents should contact Josie Ennist, School Lunch Manager, at 295-6618 if they see any discrepancies with the reported balance, or wish to check on an account balance. The POS system maintains a transaction report for each student and this report can be provided to parents if there are any questions regarding a students account.
The words “Choose Sensibly” along with a yellow logo are popping up in both the Elementary and Jr/Sr High School Cafeterias. Those words and that logo identify a snack item that fits within the guidelines set by the New York State School Nutrition Association’s “Choose Sensibly” campaign. This is a program that endeavors to improve the nutritional quality of the snacks our children are selecting. According to these guidelines a sensible snack will have:

Schoharie Central School Lunch Program began to implement this program last year and for this school year will have many new "Choose Sensibly" snacks available for ala carte sales during lunch. This year students will find the "Choose Sensibly" logo on items like baked chips, fresh fruit, bottled water, peanut butter crackers, rice cakes, granola bars and small sized Little Debbie cookies. "Choose Sensibly" Ice cream products so far include Minute Maid Juice Bars, Fudgsicles, Creamscicles, and Scribblers. The School Lunch Program continues to search for other snack items children enjoy that meet the "Choose Sensibly" guidelines. The "Choose Sensibly" campaign was designed to
encourage and motivate students to buy single serve snacks that meet the
"Choose Sensibly" nutritional profile, rather than those that contain
higher grams of fat, sugar and sodium and contain more than one serving
per container. For additional information about this campaign or
information about the school lunch/breakfast program contact
