We hope the information that you find here will be helpful and informative to you and your family. If you have any questions or concerns about our Child Nutrition Program, you may contact Barbara Ward, Wayne County Schools Child Nutrition Director by calling (919)705-6139.
The Child Nutrition Program strives to provide nutritionally adequate, moderately priced meals to enable students to take full advantage of the educational process. Our Child Nutrition Employees make the program work on a daily basis and they are dedicated to the health and well being of all students.
Students may choose from a wide selection of food items. Nutritious supplemental items such as extra milk, and menu items or snacks are also available for purchase by children that desire to purchase additional foods with their meal.
To apply for a free or reduced price meal, parents must complete an application which is sent home to all parents on the first day of school each year. Families whose income falls below federal eligibility guidelines are approved for free or reduced price meals. New applications must be completed for each household at the beginning of each new school year, unless you receive a letter by mail from the Wayne County Schools Child Nutrition Program that you are not required to do so because of conditions that pre-qualify your children. If you receive such a letter from the Child Nutrition Office, please be sure to read it carefully and follow all directions included with the letter. Contact the Child Nutrition Office if you have any questions that you may need answers to in reference to the letter. It is very important that we have all the correct information on your child or children that are listed on the letter, such as correct name, school, grade, etc. Please read all letters carefully and check to make sure that you receive a letter or letters with the names of all children residing in your home that are enrolled in Wayne County Public Schools. If any children's names are omitted you will need to notify us as soon as possible to see what actions need to be taken.
A new application may also be completed at any time during the school year if your income or family status changes. Applications may be obtained from any school office or cafeteria.
You will receive a letter by mail after your application is processed by the Child Nutrition Program informing you whether your application was approved or denied. If approved, it will list your child's name showing their meal status as either free or reduced.
