If an account falls to a negative balance a robo test message will be sent to the primary parent/guardian daily. The school cashiers will notify the Junior and Senior High School students of a negative balance at the point of service. An alternative meal will be provided to students at the elementary and middle schools until the account is positive. Alternative meals are not offered at the junior and senior high schools.
