ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS – 2nd Entrée and Limited A la Carte Items
2nd Entrée
As of February 1st, students will have the opportunity to purchase a 2nd entrée (i.e., the main course only) at a price of $1.25. This option is available only after first purchasing or obtaining a complete Type A Meal (Full price = $2.60). Students previously had only the option to purchase an entire 2nd meal (i.e., entrée, sides and beverage) for $2.60. Just as with the purchase of an entire 2nd meal, the student will need to return to the serving line to purchase the 2nd entrée. The cashier will have the student complete a logbook entry in which he or she will check off the additional item purchased and sign off on the entry.
Limited A la Carte Offerings
Elementary students will also now have a limited a la carte menu available to them for an additional charge starting in February. Aramark will display a la carte menu signage and work to educate the children, emphasizing that the items on the snack table are considered “extra” and should be purchased only if the child has obtained parent permission to do so. The items to be offered are shown below. Students may purchase them through the normal serving line. If a child who brought lunch from home wishes to supplement his or her meal with an a la carte item, the child may go through the serving line to do so. As students who bring their own lunch may not have their lunch ID cards available to them once in the cafeteria, those purchasing an a la carte item will also be asked to complete a logbook entry, checking off the extra item(s) purchased and signing off on the entry.
Please discuss these new options with your child and feel free to contact the Food Service Department at 847-325-2592 if you have any questions or concerns.
