A Note From Dining Services
The end of the school year is rapidly approaching. As a result it is necessary to limit charges on student lunch accounts. As of April 1st there will be a one lunch limit. A student will be permitted to charge one lunch only, (- $3.00 balance). As of May 1st there will be no negative charging allowed.
We ask that you keep your child’s account current. Any money left in their account at the end of the year will carry to the next school year and between schools in our district. Balances may be viewed online through the district website, http://www.sprise.com/dining and using the MyNutrikids link. Payments may also be made on this site but is not required to view balances. Balances may also be obtained by contacting the food service manager at your school. Thank you for your cooperation.

Beef Recall Update
Our school lunch program has not received any beef products from the Hallmark/Westland Meat Company involved in the beef recall. Details about this recall and USDA actions are available at www.usda.gov/actions.
New Food Service Program
We are very excited to introduce our new food service program, MyNutrikids.com. This program will allow you to make meal deposits online using a debit or credit card, view your child’s food purchases, view nutritional information and will even send you an email reminder when your child’s account balance becomes low. If you choose not to pay online your child may continue to purchase his/her meals with cash or check as in the past, and you still may choose to open an account in order to view purchases, balances and menu information.
Please take a moment to review the MyNutrikids.com website. You can access it via www.MyNutrikids.com.
SAU 39 participates in the “National School Lunch Program” and the “New Hampshire School Food Service Association”. It is our mission to provide healthy and nutritional meals for all children to enable their minds and bodies to reach their full potential while meeting the wellness guidelines of these organizations.
Lunches may be purchased at school or students may bring their own cold lunches. Milk is available for purchase.
The Amherst and Souhegan School systems participate in the Federal School Lunch Program. Each year, parents are given the opportunity to apply for free or reduced lunches. Applications must be completed before September 30th of that school year and submitted on a yearly basis.
Notice for Military Families
The USDA is allowing an exception to the Free and Reduced School Lunch Program eligibility guidelines for Military Families whose households have been affected by "Operation Enduring Freedom".The allowed exception would be that any deployed service member's income made available by them or on their behalf to the household would be counted as income. In addition, the deployed service member would continue to be considered a household member.
Please note that this could make a difference to a great number of Military Families in New Hampshire. If you feel you may qualify for this program please contact the Food Services office at 672-8416 x114.
