Meal Policy

All meal payments will be completed electronically through the eTrition system. No cash payments will be accepted in the cafeteria. This program will allow the purchase of one breakfast, and one lunch per day at the meal price set up for Full Pay, Reduced, or Free qualifying status. Students have the option of purchasing a second breakfast or second lunch at full price, regardless of eligibility provided they have enough monies in their account. Parents or Guardians may monitor their student's account balance through the online service "ezSchoolPay". Students may also come to the office to inquire about their lunch balance. Information regarding the student's account will not be given over the telephone. No lunch loans will be issued. Our school does not receive special funding from the Department of Education in order to provide lunch money loans. 

Unpaid Meal Charge (Negative Balance)
In accordance with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutritional Service (FNS) policy SP 46-2016: Unpaid Meal Charges - Local Meal Charge Policies and Hawaii Senate Bill 423, the following is the Department's policy:

• Students who are unable to pay their meal at the point of service shall be allowed to incur (meal only) charges for the first 21 days of school;
• The parent/guardian shall be responsible to repay all meal charges that are incurred during the first 21 days of the school year; and
• After the first 21 days, unpaid meal charges should not exceed the cash equivalent of seven days. Listed below are the total allowable chargeable amounts based on eligibility:
  • Reduced price student's meal charge limit is $4.90.
  • Full Paid student's (K-8) meal charge limit is $25.20.

Once students have reached their meal charge limit, the eTrition point of sale service terminal will automatically disallow the purchase of the meal. Additionally, schools shall disallow the charging of a la carte or extra items by any child with a negative balance, regardless of the child's eligibility status. 

All negative balances must be paid by the end of the school year.  

Deposits into Meal  Accounts
