NEW CHECK PROCEDURE

Your check is WELCOME at all schools in the Caldwell County School District.  The Caldwell County School Board recognizes that occasionally a parent may inadvertently overdraw a checking account and a check may be returned to the bank.  In the event any check made to the school cafeteria is returned for insufficient funds charges, the amount of the check and $25.00 fee will be deducted from the child's account.  If more than one bad check is received then checks will no longer be accepted.

Charging Meals

Should any student forget their meal money or have inadequate funds in their cafeteria account, credit up to $7.00 for regular meals will be provided.  A note will be sent home as a reminder when your child's account owes approximately $4.00.  The principal will send a follow-up letter when the charges reach $7.00.  At middle and high school levels all charges must be approved in advance by the principal or designee.  An administrator is usually on duty during lunch periods in these schools
