Getting to know our South Fayette Nutritional Department GOOD QUESTION! WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE MEAL? We thought we would take a few minutes and answer some questions that we have been asked by our new families that are moving into the District regarding our South Fayette Nutritional Services. There will be a postcard sent out to homes. Please visit our website and look at our charging policy and our price list for each school. South Fayette Nutritional Services has been a leader in the food service field and a role model to many other schools in the western Pennsylvania area. South Fayette Nutritional Services provides a full line of service to the students of our community. We offer breakfast in the middle school and high school, as well as offering after school food service for students at the high school. We have about 300 students that stay after school for tutoring, the arts and athletics. We host special events and “Sports 2 GO” meals to our sports teams. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW: Please visit our web site www.southfayette.org and click on the upper left hand corner to view our food service information which includes COMPASS (Commonwealth of PA Access to Social Services) and Summer Feeding Opportunities/Sites. Tours, pictures, pricing and all required forms will be sent home at the start of the school year. You can also direct all questions to 412.221.4542 x279, Tricia Wood. We are also working with our high school media teams to produce an instructional video focused on how to select a meal for our younger students. HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THE PRICE OF THE MEALS? As of February 15, 2012, all schools were mandated to increase pricing based on Section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010. This ruling is called “Equity in School Lunch Pricing.” We use the Price Equity Tool to determine the price of our meals. (Section 205 of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010) (Public Law 111-296): This provision requires school food authorities (SFAs) participating in the National School Lunch Program to ensure that schools are providing the same level of support for lunches served to students who are not eligible for free or reduced price lunches (i.e., paid lunches) as they are for lunches served to students eligible for free lunches. This means that the paid students should match the reimbursement price that the State is providing to the District for reimbursement for a free meal, approximately $3.22 per meal. 50 SOUTH FAYETTE 2018 – 2019 Meal Prices MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL • Breakfast Middle School...................$1.30 • Breakfast High School.......................$1.45 • Reduced Priced Breakfast................ $ .30 Regular Meal...............................................$ 2.40 Premium Tier 1............................................$2.65 Premium Tier 2............................................$2.85 Reduced Priced Lunch............................. $ .40 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Regular Meal................................................$2.30 Premium Meal Tier 1.................................$2.60 Premium Tier 2............................................$2.75 • Salad Meal.............................................$2.60 • Yogurt Meal...........................................$2.60 • Turkey Slider Meal..............................$2.30 • WOW Butter & Jelly Meal with String Cheese.......................................$2.30 • Hot Dog (Turkey Dog) Meal...........$2.30 • Gluten Free Meal.................................$2.60 All meals come with fruit and choice of two fresh vegetables and milk Reduced Priced Lunch $ .40 Staff Meal .....................................................$3.50 INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL All meals come with fruit and up to two vegetables from the Grab N Go, plus a milk choice Regular Meal................................................$2.40 Premium Tier 1............................................$2.65 Premium Tier 2............................................$2.85 Reduced Priced Lunch............................. $ .40 Deli Station: • Salad Meal.............................................$2.65 • Yogurt Meal...........................................$2.65 • Turkey Slider Meal..............................$2.40 • WOW Butter & Jelly............................$2.40 • Gluten Free Meal.................................$2.65 • Vegetarian Burger Meal....................$2.85 • Snacks:..................................................... $ .85
