Holgate Local Schools Cafeteria Information

Holgate Local Schools would like to welcome you and your family to our Cafeteria.  Below is information you and you student can use to make you cafeteria experience better.

A menu is provided each month through the school website.   These menus are also posted in the cafeteria.

Free Lunch program extended

• The USDA Food Nutrition Services notified ODE that nationwide waivers have been extended through the 2021-2022 school year.
• Holgate Local Schools will exercise this waiver though the end of the 2021-2022 school year as proposed by ODE.  This will allow our district to continue to offer school breakfast and lunch to ALL students at NO CHARGE to help with challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic.   
• Parents should still complete free/reduced applications forms if their family would be otherwise eligible for free/reduced meals.  This application helps the school determine if families are eligible to have their child’s course/lab FEES waived for the 2021-2022 school year.  This also serves the district as a benefit to our federal Title 1 (Reading) and E-rate (Technology) funding.

Applications for Free/Reduced meals are available in both offices, the cafeteria and on the school website.

Payments can be made online to your student meal account.  You can receive automated notifications via-emails or text message, when your students balance falls below an amount you have set.  To create an account go to www.holgateschools.org and click to K12PaymentCenter and click “Register Now”.

We also have envelopes available to send money in for a student’s lunch or ala carte items.  If you have more than one student they can all be put in on envelope.   Please always mark the students full name and amount you would like in each account. 

Students that receive a free or reduced lunch can receive a free or reduced breakfast too.  Students who participate in the free and reduced meal program are not identified in any way.  If your student receives meals, and they pack their lunch they will be charged $.50 for milk.   Milk is only free when they receive a full reimbursable meal from the cafeteria.

CHARGING POLICY:  Since meals are free there is a NO charging policy.  Please add money to you students account if they wish to purchase ala carte items.    Please remember to check their lunch accounts.  

Allergies:  Please remember to have a doctor’s note for any allergies to milk or other foods.  We require a note from the doctor EACH school year.  Please get them in asap.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [email protected] or 419-264-7225.  Thank you for choosing school meals!
