LUNCH MONEY NOW   This program will permit parents to access their child’s cafeteria account via the internet.  You can view your student account balance, student's purchase history, and make deposits to the child’s cafeteria account using a Visa or Master Card.  This program has a web site link on the Bullard I.S.D. home page under "Student Meal Accounts". Monthly breakfast and lunch menus can also be viewed by campus on the district web site under the "Child Nutrition" side bar.


CHARGE POLICY
The only campus that can charge (meals only) is the Elementary campus.  Intermediate, Middle and High School campuses have a "no charge" policy. Please, make sure your child has breakfast and/or lunch money. Students will be given a sandwich and water at no charge if they don’t have money.   Elementary students who have charges will receive weekly notices.
Students/parents are also responsible for payment of meals until free or reduced lunch application benefits have been approved.  Contact your campus Cafeteria Manager by e-mail for student account information.

PRE-PAID
We encourage students and faculty to prepay their meals.  Meals can be prepaid on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly basis.  Please make sure Elementary and Intermediate students send their money in an envelope with the student's name on it.  All students pre-pay in the morning before classes start, to prevent long lines at lunch.

LUNCH APPLICATIONS
Determine if your household income qualifies for free or reduced priced student meals.  If so, then an application must be filled out each year to determine eligibility.  (If you believe your income does not qualify your household for free or reduced meals, then please leave the form blank and turn back in to the school office.)  Applications for free/reduced meals are available at the school offices and are included in student packets at the beginning of the school year.  Each student will receive a packet, so there will be duplicate lunch application forms each year, when there is more than one student in the household.  Please note, though, each student will receive a free or reduced lunch application, the good news is: It is only necessary to fill out one application per household for all of the B. I. S. D. school age children in your legal care. Complete and return  just one household lunch application for all the students in your household as soon as possible to determine eligibility. This process does take a period of time. Therefore, until your application is processed and eligibility is determined: Households are responsible for payment of meals until notified of approval for the free or reduced lunch program.
