A La Carte items are snacks that students may purchase that are not part of a meal. They are offered to all students and are intended to compliment a meal rather than replace it. All A La Carte items we sell are approved by USDA guidelines and we have introduced more low salt and low-fat snack items during the past several years.  Please call the Food Service office to request a block on your child purchasing A La Carte items with your family account. Items may still be purchased with cash.

Department of Public Instruction

Child Nutrition and Food Distribution Programs

NOTE: Do not allow hardship deductions from the above

Reminders

*Multiply income that is received every 2 weeks (biweekly) by 26 to arrive at annual income.

*Multiply weekly income by 52 to arrive at annual income. 

*Gross or total income must be used in determining eligibility for wage earners.

*A net loss from a business or farm may not be used to offset other income. A negative income is denoted as $0.

1. HOW DO I KNOW IF MY CHILDREN QUALIFY AS HOMELESS, MIGRANT, OR RUNAWAY? Do the members of your household lack a permanent address? Are you staying together in a shelter, hotel, or other temporary housing arrangement? Does you family relocate on a seasonal basis? Are any children living with you who have chosen to leave their prior family or household? If you believe children in your household meet these descriptions and have not been told your children will get free meals, please call or email Cindy Wall, 701-252-1950, Cindy.Wall@k12.nd.us
2. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT AN APPLICATION FOR EACH CHILD? No. Use one Free and Reduced Price School Meals Application for all students in your household. We cannot approve an application that is not complete, so be sure to fill out all required information. Return the completed application to: Cindy Wall, Jamestown 1 Food Service, PO Box 269, Jamestown, ND 58402-0269
3. SHOULD I FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF I RECEIVED A LETTER THIS SCHOOL YEAR SAYING MY CHILDREN ARE ALREADY APPROVED FOR FREE MEALS? No, but please read the letter you received carefully and follow the instructions. If any children in your household were missing from your eligibility notification, contact Cindy Wall, Jamestown 1 Food Service, PO Box 269, Jamestown, ND 58402-0269
4. CAN I DOWNLOAD/PRINT AN APPLICATION? Yes! These are available on the DPI website. Visit the Jamestown 1 Website to learn more about the online application process.

5. MY CHILD’S APPLICATION WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT A NEW ONE? Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first few days of this school year, through October 15, 2017. You must send in a new application unless the school told you that your child is eligible for the new school year. If you do not send in a new application that is approved by the school or you have not been notified that your child is eligible for free meals, your child will be charged the full price for meals.
6. I GET WIC. CAN MY CHILDREN GET FREE MEALS? Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for free or reduced price meals. Please send in an application.
7. WILL THE INFORMATION I GIVE BE CHECKED? Yes. We may also ask you to send written proof of the household income you report.
8. IF I DON’T QUALIFY NOW, MAY I APPLY LATER? Yes, you may apply at any time during the school year. For example, children with a parent or guardian who becomes unemployed may become eligible for free and reduced price meals if the household income drops below the income limit.
9. WHAT IF I DISAGREE WITH THE SCHOOL’S DECISION ABOUT MY APPLICATION? You should talk to school officials. You also may ask for a hearing by calling or writing to Dr. Robert.Lech@k12.nd.us Robert Lech, Jamestown 1 Superintendent, 701-252-1950 or
10. MAY I APPLY IF SOMEONE IN MY HOUSEHOLD IS NOT A U.S. CITIZEN? Yes. You, your children, or other household members do not have to be U.S. Citizens to apply for free or reduced price meals.
11. WHAT IF MY INCOME IS NOT ALWAYS THE SAME? List the amount that you normally receive. For example, if you normally make $1,000 each month, but you missed some work last month and only made $900, put down that you made $1,000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but do not include it if you only work overtime sometimes. If you have lost a job or had your hours or wages reduced, use your current income.
12. WHAT IF SOME HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS HAVE NO INCOME TO REPORT? Household members may not receive some types of income we ask you to report on the application, or may not receive income at all. Whenever this happens, please write a 0 in the field. However, if any income fields are left empty or blank, those will also be counted as zeroes. Please be careful when leaving income fields blank, as we will assume you meant to do so.
13. WE ARE IN THE MILITARY. DO WE REPORT OUR INCOME DIFFERENTLY? Your basic pay and cash bonuses must be reported as income. If you get any cash value allowances for off-base housing, food, or clothing, it must also be included as income. However, if your housing is part of the Military Housing Privatization Initiative, do not include your housing allowance as income. Do not include any combat pay resulting from deployment income.
14. WHAT IF THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON THE APPLICATION FOR ALL MY FAMILY MEMBERS? List any additional household members on a separate piece of paper and attach it to your application. Contact Cindy Wall, Jamestown 1 Food Service, PO Box 269, Jamestown, ND 58402-0269, 701-952-3015, or Cindy.Wall@k12.nd.us to receive a second application if needed.

(F) Fresh Fruits & Vegetable Program

The Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) is a federally assisted program providing free fresh fruits and vegetables to students in participating elementary schools during the school day at times other than breakfast, lunch, or after school snack.

Administered at the state level by Child Nutrition & Food Distribution programs – the same agency that administers the National School Lunch Program – the FFVP began in 2004. Legislation in 2008 expanded the program to schools not previously authorized to participate in the program.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service has very defined criteria for schools eligible for this program. Section 19 of the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) requires that schools with the highest free and reduced price enrollment be given priority for participation. This is the key selection criterion, which ensures that the program benefits low-income children. This criterion cannot be waived to give all schools in the state an equal chance to participate in the program.

The goal of the FFVP is to improve children’s overall diet and create healthier eating habits to impact their present and future health. The FFVP will help schools create healthier school environments by providing healthier food choices, expanding the variety of fruits and vegetables children experience, and increasing children’s fruit and vegetable consumption.

• Instead of a party, organize a special community service project (e.g. invite senior citizens for a program.) Involve parents in planning the project and providing needed materials
• Create a “celebrate me” book. Have classmates write stories or poems and draw pictures to describe what is special about the birthday child.
• Provide special time with the principal or another adult, such as taking a walk around the school at recess.
• Create a special birthday package.
• Let the birthday child wear a special sash and crown.

Online Payments

We accept online credit/debit card payments via e~Funds for Schools.

Cash/Check Payments

Checks are preferred and can be made payable to: Jamestown 1- Food Service Dept.  Payments should be in an envelope clearly marked with the child's first and last name.

Computer-Based Family Accounts

We utilize a computer-based accounting system that functions similar to a debit card.  Each student is given a confidential food service 4-digit number to be entered at meal time. This user-friendly system maintains the daily account balance.

Account Balances and History

You can check account balances and transaction history online at Jamestown’s e~Funds for Schools or through your Smartphone or Tablet in the Jamestown-1 District App. If the online method or app do not work for you, contact the food service director.  Students are expected to maintain a positive food service balance. Service may be suspended for delinquent accounts.

School Lunch Collection Process:

Families that are above $15.00 negative lunch balance per student will have one of the following five options:

1. Family can make a payment in full to get student account current.
2. Family can make a payment plan with food service. The district will be very flexible with payment plans, but it must be strictly adhered to.
3. Family can pack a lunch and send with their student.
4. A family can provide cash for that day’s meal. This will be accepted without regard to the negative balance.

Balance Notifications

Courtesy and negative balance notifications will be sent to all families-

• Emails will be sent to families with $15.00 or less in their account
• Low balance phone calls, text, emails and letters will be sent to families with $5.00 or less in their account

Note: Extra snack items may not be charged if a balance is due

Please make sure we have your correct contact information with your school secretary in PowerSchool in order to receive proper notifications. Demographic changes can be requested via Family Access.

Students enrolled in the Middle School and High School will be reminded that they need lunch money when their balance is negative $15.
