Our school uses a computerized meal program.  All enrolled students are issued a 4 or 5 digit PIN# and a corresponding meal account.  A student’s PIN# remains the same each year as long as they are enrolled at Springhill Lake.  At mealtime the students enter their PIN# on a keypad located next to the cashier. All students are encouraged to deposit money in their student accounts.  This ensures that all students have money in their account in case they have forgotten their lunch for the day or another emergency arises.  Meal, milk and A la carte costs will then be deducted at the time of the purchase.    If students have enough money in their meal accounts, the price of the meal will be automatically be deducted from the account balance.  If the account balance is zero, the students will have to pay for the meal out-of-pocket. It is important that each student memorize their PIN#.  This number is confidential, therefore the number must not be given to other students.  Students are asked to put money on their accounts in the morning before going to their classroom. 

 The price of lunch is $1.75 for students (this includes milk).  Students put money on their account before going to their classroom in the morning.  Children who bring lunch from home may purchase milk for $.40 or juice for $.35 a carton.

            Free and reduced lunch applications have been sent to you.  If you think that your child(ren) qualify for the free or reduced lunch program, please return the applications as soon as possible.

            Please assist us in helping your child remember his/her lunch money.  Forgotten lunch money results in time away from morning learning.  If you have any questions call our Cafeteria Manager, at 301-513-5996

                           RECESS PARTICIPATION

            The recess period is a regular part of our school program.  It consists of a daily supervised period of free play on our playground.  During inclement weather recess is held in the classrooms.

           All children are expected to participate in recess unless they have a medical problem which prevents them from doing so.  If a medical condition exists, it should be substantiated by a doctor’s certificate which should be sent to the teacher. The teacher will also inform the nurse. If a teacher does not receive such a note, thestudent will participate in the recess program.
