School District of New Berlin

School Districts that participate in the National School Lunch (NSL) program have been directed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to institute a policy that addressed action taken when a student's lunch account reaches a negative balance. Starting Jan 2, 2018, all elementary schools in the district will begin implementing the following procedure to bring the district into compliance with this mandate:

When a student participating in the NSL program arrives for lunch service and after entering their lunch account PIN, their account shows that the balance in their lunch account has reached a negative amount of $2.50 or more, the student will be issued an alternative meal ticket to hand to the server. They will then be given an alternative meal entree of a cheese sandwich and will be allowed to take a milk, other sides offered that day and selections at the garden bar. This meal will be charged to their lunch account. This procedure will be repeated until the account shows a positive balance.

Our phone call/email message system that sends out account low and negative balance reminders will remain in place.  If you have any questions on the new procedure, please, do not hesitate to contact me.
