END OF YEAR LUNCH ACCOUNT INFORMATION
The last day for lunch for 8th graders will be Wednesday, May 14, with all other students having their last hot lunch day on Thursday, May 15.
This message will provide information on finishing up the school year with all student accounts in good standing.
If 8th graders or students at other grade levels who are not returning to SVdP next year finish the year with a lunch account deficit, any excess funds in siblings’ accounts will be transferred to correct the deficit. If that isn’t possible or a deficit remains, emails and/or printed notices will be provided regarding what is owed by 8th graders.
If PK-7th students finish the year with lunch account deficits, transfers from siblings’ accounts, if possible, will be attempted. Again, if that isn’t possible, emails and/or printed notices will be provided regarding what is owed by PK-7th students.
Note that page 26 of the Family Handbook states: Students with a negative account balance at the end of the school year will have their report cards held back.
If 8th graders or students at other grade levels who are not returning to SVdP next year finish the year with a positive lunch account balance, those balances will be transferred to returning siblings. If there are no siblings to transfer funds to, families may request a refund of the balance.
Because automatic low balance payments set up by some families in eFunds for Schools may be triggered by transferring or refunding account balances, those automatic or pre-authorized payment settings will be disabled beginning May 12 and continuing through August 11.
Beginning May 15, families using eFunds who have 8th graders will want to unlink those students from eFunds accounts. Doing so will prevent any prevent automatic or pre-authorized settings being triggered on August 11.
Balances for all students returning to SVdP next year will automatically be rolled over for use during the 2025-2026 school year.
Parents can view current account balance information for all students by logging into parent PowerSchool accounts.
