Food Service Information

Vision Statement: Fueling Education One Tray at a Time

School meals are hard.....

• USDA Food & Nutrition Services will not be extending the waivers that allowed schools to serve free meals to all students. 
• Parents and Guardians should make sure they fill out Free/Reduced meal price applications at the beginning of the school year. 
• F/R Applications can be found in all welcome back packets and online. 

• Breakfast (Research shows children who eat breakfast pay better attention in class, have fewer discipline problems and can catch on to new learning more quickly.)
• No Student is allowed to charge a la carte or extra items.
• Lunch codes are provided so that parents/guardians and employees can pay on account to keep a positive balance for ala carte and/or extra items. Parents/Guardians can view their child’s account and their meal purchases through Skyward Family Access. Please contact your child’s school to get set up in Skyward if you have not already done so.
• Contact Tina Roy ([email protected]) | 865-984-0531 with any questions or concerns.

Student Food Allergies

We need your help!

• Does your child have a diagnosed food intolerance?
• Does your child have a diagnosed food allergy?
• Can you provide documentation from your child's doctor?

• If an allergy is marked for a certain food/beverage, it must be accompanied by a signature from a medical doctor stating that an allergy exists.
• If a substitution is required for the food/beverage that must be documented.
• Please be aware in order to remove an allergy from your students information, documentation also needs to occur from a doctor stating that the allergy no longer exists.
• An allergy for ACS nutrition/health services must have medical documentation.

Benefits and Application Information

We Need Your Application

• For free or reduced meal benefits, parents/guardians MUST complete a new application each year via an online application or paper application.

• Only 1 application is needed per family/household.
• Only 1 application submission is required to apply for Food Service benefits. DO NOT complete both paper and online applications for one academic/school year.

• Verification is the confirmation of students' eligibility for free and reduced price meals under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).
• This is a requirement of the USDA, which governs School Meal Programs.
• If you are chosen for verification you will receive a letter via United States Postal Service (USPS)
