The Evansville Community School District and Aramark Food Service encourage parents/guardians to pre-pay meals for their student thereby eliminating situations that could develop during lunchtime because of negative balances or failure to bring lunch money to school.
The district offers two options for parents/guardians to pre-pay for meals.
A. Pre-payments for lunch can be made through the e-Funds for Schools website located at https://eps.mvpbanking.com/cgi-bin/efs/login.pl?access=55572 or can be accessed thru Family Access or the districts website/Food Service Department. A flat fee of $1.50 per transaction will be charged for each ACH transaction. For credit card transactions, there will be a charge of $2.95 per $100.
B. Cash and check payments will continue to be accepted at each school or district office.
Deposits may be mailed to or dropped off at the district office or dropped off at any of the schools. Deposits made no later than 8:30 a.m. will be reflected in service line balances that day. Deposits should be sent in an envelope, which is labeled with the parent's first and last name, student’s first and last name and the amount of the payment. All checks are to be made payable to the Evansville Community School District.
Parents/guardians will be able to and are encouraged to monitor their student’s lunch account activity through Family Access. This system can be used to confirm payments have been received, make payments, and monitor account activity.
Family Access also has the ability to automatically send out auto email notifications to parents/guardians as the family lunch account draws below the $10.00 amount. This option may be selected within your Family Access account.
NEGATIVE BALANCE PROCEDURES FOR THE SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
Both the Evansville Community School District and Aramark are committed to providing meals to students who choose to participate in the lunch program but also feel very strongly that there is an obligation for parents/guardians and/or students to satisfy all financial obligations to the lunch program in a timely manner.
Students with No Money for Lunch or a $20.00 Negative Lunch Account Balance:
Family lunch accounts with balances higher than negative twenty dollars (-$20.00) for which payment arrangements have not been made are subject to a temporary stop status which prevents the student(s) from participating in the A La Carte program. Students will continue to receive meals that are being served. However, parents/guardians will be responsible for any costs incurred during their negative balance period.
Free/Reduced Lunch Applications:
A. Parents/guardians are strongly encouraged to submit free/reduced lunch application forms annually as well as when their household information or income changes. Applications can be submitted at any time and are available during registration and through Skyward Family Access. Once you are logged into Family Access, click on the Food Service tab, then click on Applications in the middle towards the top.
B. If you need assistance filling out the forms or have any questions, please contact Nathan Knitt in the school business office at (608) 882-3383, or online at knittn@evansville.k12.wi.us
