Students who do not have money in their lunch accounts are expected to bring lunch from home students will no longer be able to purchase lunches if there is no monev in the account. At the elementary school balance letters will be sent home every week when accounts get below $10.00. At the Middle and High School cashiers will remind students when to bring money in, it is the student's responsibility to advise their parent or guardian. At the Middle and High School the students bring check or money directly to the cashiers in the lunchroom, we will not give money back for checks deposited. Money can be deposited into the accounts by calling food services.

Monthly menus are on Saline Area Schools Food Service Department web site or at the cashier stations. The food service department look forward to the corning year and strives to give the students a friendly place to enjoy their lunch.
