FOOD SERVICE POLICY - OFFER VS. SERVE

CHILDREN GETTING TRAYS AND FOOD

AT BREAKFAST OR LUNCH

1. Children are allowed to go through the lunch line and place the food items, of their choice, on their trays.
2. All Children must take the correct item(s) that are posted by food service. They do not have to take everything. They MUST take the entree (which sometimes consists of meat and bread) AND 2 other choices. Milk does not have to be taken, Unless the student wants to have 5 items on their tray.

3. All Children and other persons MUST get their desired food items, the FIRST time they come through the line. NOBODY is allowed to go back and get something they forgot to put on their tray, after they leave the serving area. This includes, all foods, milk, juice, etc. If you forget it, you must go without it. (however, they may be sent back by food service only, if they do not have the correct amount of items on their tray)

4. No child or other person is allowed to take food or other items back to the serving line and make an exchange. Once the foods leave the serving line and are placed on a tray, they are considered non servable. (exchanges may be made to the Food Service only, for obvious reasons)

All above rules apply to the children, meal monitors, and other staff.

This policy should be read and observed often, and must be followed at every meal.
