2026-2027 Park Hill School District Meal Charge Procedure
The Park Hill School District promotes healthy, high-quality school meals, recognizing that students need adequate, nourishing food in order to learn, grow, and maintain optimal health.
To ensure all students have access to healthy meals, the district participates in the USDA National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. These programs allow the district to provide eligible students with a free or reduced-price breakfast and/or lunch.
To accommodate students purchasing school meals, payment options include an online payment system that accepts credit and debit cards, as well as cash and check payments made at all school sites.
The Park Hill School District provides multiple alerts to notify parents/guardians of their student’s account balance to help ensure they have available funds to purchase school meals.
- Parents/Guardians may set an alert through the payment website that will notify of a low account balance at a specified dollar amount.
- Automated telephone calls go out weekly to notify parents of a standard low balance.
- E-mails are also sent weekly to notify parents of a low balance.
Students with insufficient funds on their account, or in hand, to cover the cost of a meal at the time of service are permitted to charge the cost of a full meal. A la carte snacks and beverages may not be charged.
When a charge has occurred the parent/guardian will be notified of the negative balance. If charges continue without repayment:
- Parent/guardian may be contacted by school staff to offer services or assistance as needed.
- Parent/guardian may be encouraged to submit a Family Meal Benefits Application if one has not been completed during the current school year.
District employees are mandated by the state of Missouri to report instances of suspected abuse or neglect to the Children’s Division (CD) of the Department of Social Services. District personnel will report to the CD any instance where a student’s arrival at school with no provision for food leads to a reasonable cause to suspect neglect.
Employees are not allowed to charge meals and must provide payment at the time of service.
