Cafeteria Guidelines

WCS will continue to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This provision under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-free Kids Act that permits qualifying school systems to serve free meals to each student in attendance. Every child will be provided a free school breakfast and lunch each day. If a family chooses to opt out of CEP or if a student chooses to buy a second breakfast or lunch, the child will pay the prices listed below. Extra items and a la carte foods will be separate charges.

Student Breakfast:           $1.50

Elementary Lunch:           $2.40

Adult Breakfast:                $2.75

Adult Lunch:                      $4.25

Here are some other important guidelines to remember in the cafeteria.

  • Students are to practice good manners in the cafeteria.  Running, pushing, kicking, tripping, breaking in line, throwing food, tampering with other students’ food, popping milk cartons, or other disruptive behaviors will not be tolerated and can lead to silent lunch and/or suspension.
  • Students must talk in low voices.  When several classes are gathered, even soft talk produces much noise.
  • Students are to pick up all food and utensils as they go through the serving line.  Students are to remain seated during meals. Feet are not to be on seats.
  • Students must use good table manners and pick up and clean up after themselves.
  • Students who bring lunch from home are to remain with the group and follow the same procedures and regulations.
  • Federal and state law prohibits student use of carbonated beverages during regular lunch hours.  Please do not allow your child to bring these beverages to school.
  • According to federal law, no food or drink from other businesses is to be brought by parents, students, or staff into the cafeteria.
