Free and Reduced Applications

We will also be continuing the free and reduced lunch program for any families that may need it. We have applications in the office and you will also be able to complete applications online. Go to http://capecharterschools.org and then click on applyforlunch.com under the school lunch info menu. It is important to note that it may take up to 10 days to process your free and reduced lunch application. You must pay the full price until your application has been approved. Last year’s status will carry over for the first 30 days. You MUST reapply for this school year. After 30 days, your child will go back to full paying status without an approved application on file.

Lunch accounts and charges

Our policy is that a student may only charge 2 lunches and then they will receive a sandwich and milk. If paying for meals is becoming an issue, please see the cafeteria manager about filling out a free and reduced application. In addition, no snack cart items will be allowed to be charged at any time. The student must have cash or money on their account to purchase from the snack cart.

Online payments

In order to help parents know what their child’s lunch account balance is, we are offering the option of making payments online. SchoolPaymentSolutions.com is an online payment portal especially designed to allow parents to make quick and easy online payments to their children's school accounts. The system allows parents to manage their children's lunch accounts quickly and easily. You will be able to pay with a credit card, check your child’s account balance, see what your child is eating, and receive account balance alerts and much more. Go to http://capecharterschools.org and then click on schoolpaymentsolutions.com under the school lunch info menu.

Milk & Allergies

As a part of the national school lunch program, we are required to give our students milk as a part of their meal. If your child is lactose intolerant, please submit a doctor’s note and we will provide SILK for your child. If your child is also allergic to soy then provide a doctor’s note and we will provide your child with water. If your child is allergic to any other food items like peanuts, etc., please provide a doctor’s note and we will mark it in our system and we can provide an alternative item. It is important to note that your child may not like the alternative but due to our limited resources, we will only be providing one per day.
