Meal Magic - Account Balance Reminder
As the school year winds down, we ask all parents to watch the balance in their student’s Meal Magic account. If the account is in the negative, please make a deposit to cover the negative balance and any other purchases that may be made through the end of the school year.
Parents of seniors …
Any balance remaining on your senior student’s account at the end of the school year will be transferred to a younger sibling’s account (if applicable). If there are no other siblings in the district, any balance in excess of $10.00 will be refunded to the family if a request is made in writing by the parent and a mailing address is provided.
