Payment Guidelines

The policy of the Central DeWitt Community School District is to offer breakfast and lunch to all students within the district. Parents are strongly encouraged to pre-pay meals for their children, thereby eliminating situations that could develop during mealtime over negative balances. Pre-payments (credit card, debit card, and/or e-check) for lunch and breakfast can be made through Infinite Campus. Cash and check payments will continue to be accepted by each school’s cashier.

Cashiers will notify students when they have $5.00 or less left in their account. As a student’s account balance approaches zero or becomes negative, the Negative Balance Procedures stated in Policy No. 710.04 will apply.

VOLUNTEERS
Adult visitors are always welcome to eat school lunch. We ask that you pay cash as you come through the line.  Please do not charge a meal to your child’s account.

EMPLOYEES
Employees may establish meal accounts. If an employee chooses to charge meals, the account balance should not fall below zero.

Free & Reduced Price Meals

Students in all grade levels may be eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals (breakfast and lunch) in accordance with USDA guidelines. A new application must be completed each school year unless you receive Direct Certification from DHS. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year if income or other circumstances change. All forms must be completed in full and signed to be considered for eligibility. 

Applications can be delivered to any Central DeWitt school office or mailed to:

Food and Nutrition Services
Central DeWitt Community School District
P.O. Box 110
DeWitt, Iowa 52742

If you have questions or need more information regarding Free & Reduced Price Meal Applications, please contact the Nutrition Services Director Dede Wagener at dede.wagener@cd-csd.org or (563) 659-4725.

FEE WAIVERS
Students who are eligible for free or reduced price meals may also be eligible to receive fee reductions or waivers for other services. Student fee waiver eligibility is based on how you qualify for free and reduced price meals as well as other eligibility factors. Fees will automatically be waived or reduced based on eligibility. There is not a separate form to complete. For fee waiver questions, email Sarah Penniston or call her at (563) 659-4711.
