June 10th Food Service Communication:

Dear Parent and/or Guardian,

This notice is to inform you that as of Wednesday, June 13, 2024, we will no longer be using the school meal on-line payment program, My School Account (MSA).

Please note: All balances from student accounts will be transferred to our new food service point of sale system (Express Point/School Café).

We will be changing the vendor for the 2024-2025 school year to School Café. A notice will be sent out mid-August with information regarding the new food service payment system.

Best Regards,

Mission Statement

The Western Wayne School District Food Service Department is committed to provide safe, quality meals that reflect a high nutritional standard, while providing excellent customer service in a friendly environment. 

Overview

The District publishes menus for the elementary, middle and high schools. Each school has a fully-equipped kitchen and all food is prepared on site.

Students carrying their own lunches may purchase assorted milk products and 100% juices as well as a-la-carte products. The District participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Program, which provides free and reduced-price lunches based upon need. A number of daily menu options are available in each school. At the high school level breakfast service includes cereals, breakfast sandwiches, fresh fruit and lunch items include hot entrees.

NOTE: On 2 hour delays, breakfast is not available due to lunch being served within half an hour from start.

Cashless Cafeteria

Students are required to make cafeteria purchases through an individual prepaid account.

They will not be permitted to pay in the serving line with cash.

Special Dietary Needs?

Schools participating in the federal Child Nutrition Program are required to make accommodations for children who are unable to eat the school meals because of a disability that restricts their diet. They may also at their discretion, make substitutions for students who have special dietary needs but do not meet the definition of a disability.

Western Wayne School District’s food service department does not substitute Lactaid Milk in place of fluid milk for students who are lactose intolerant. We also have available in all cafeterias a peanut/tree nut free table for those students that require these accommodations. Additional substitutions are made on a case by case basis for students who have other special dietary needs. The proper documentation must be submitted to the food service department and the school nurse before any substitutions are considered.

Follow the link below for information and instructions along with the student medical form for both disabling and non-disabling special dietary needs.
