School Meal Charges
Greetings Parents,
We are working diligently in the Oakley Elementary Cafe to make sure your student is receiving a nutritious, healthy breakfast and lunch. At this time, we are asking all parents to pay any remaining meal balances as soon as possible. Students with meal charges are not allowed to purchase extra sale items (snacks) during lunch. As of April 29, 2016, we will not allow any charges in the cafeteria. If your student does not have his/ her lunch monies, he/ she will receive a courtesy meal. A courtesy lunch consists of a cheese sandwich and milk. Payments for meals can be made by sending cash or check to the cafeteria manager, or online at www.mypaymentsplus.com. Please feel free to call the Oakley ES School Cafeteria at (470) 254-4058 if you have any questions or concerns. Thank You.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Seyemore
Oakley Cafeteria Manager
