Q&A

Are snacks and birthday parties only on Friday?

~Smart Snacks including ice cream are available for Birthday Parties every day except half days and special events. Snacks and ice cream are available for purchase to all students in our Snack Shack on Monday, Wednesday and Friday with the above exceptions.

Aren’t your snacks just junk food?

~All our snacks meet USDA Smart Snacks for School Nutrition requirements which include whole grain, low sugar, low fat and low sodium. We also offer Gluten Free and Dairy Free ice cream.

What if my child needs lunch but he doesn’t have any money in his account?

~We will always feed lunch or breakfast to any student who asks! They will however be charged for the meal and you will be responsible for payment. We cannot deny any child requesting a meal unless the parent/guardian has instructed us in writing to do so.

My child is allergic to/doesn't like milk. Can they get something else?

~One carton of milk is provided free with the purchase of a lunch. Extra milk is $.50. Our chocolate and strawberry milk is lactose free. At this time, the white milk is not. We can provide your child with a cup for the water fountain or they may purchase juice for $.50 if they have money in their account.

My child is spending too much on snacks, can I set a limit?

~YES! If you would like to limit the amount of snacks your child purchases, please contact:

Angie Schuster at aschuster@lexrich5.org or 803-756-1116  and we will be happy to help you.
