If a student comes to school without lunch money, they will be offered the option of a hot meal or a cold sandwich bag. The food service personnel will send home an IOU notice to the parents within one school day. The parent must pay the balance within 10 days. At the 10-day mark, the food service personnel will send a final notice. At this point, the parent has 5 days to pay the balance in full. If it is not paid within 5 days, the child may not receive lunch. This policy is required so that the school is in compliance with the law beginning July 1, 2017.

If your family's circumstances have changed since the COVID-19 closure, you may qualify for the district's free and reduced lunch program.  Lunch applications are posted on this website.  Mail the application to Jennifer Michener, 8103 Winchester Ave. Margate NJ. 08402, or email: Jmichener@margateschools.org
