Charging Policy

All Kennedale ISD students can charge up to the maximum charge limit of $10 for students. Adults and children not enrolled in the district are not allowed to charge.

After the charging limit has been reached, KISD students will receive a courtesy meal. A breakfast courtesy meal includes two pieces of toast with the students’ choice of milk, juice, and/or fruit. A lunch courtesy meal includes a cheese sandwich with the students’ choice of milk, juice, and/or fruit.  Courtesy meals must include fruit or vegetable and meet meal guidelines.

Parents/guardians are responsible for all their child(ren)’s meal account charges. This also applies to all meal charges accrued before getting on the free and reduced program. Go to http://kennedale.schoollunchapp.com to apply for free or reduced-price school meals.

At www.myschoolbucks.com, parents may access their child’s meal online, view payment balances, set up low balance notifications, and apply money using Visa or MasterCard. Online payments are charged a convenience fee per transaction. All online payments take 24 hours to appear on your child’s meal account.

Meal Account Restriction Form: Parents/Guardians may place a buying restriction on their child’s meal account. Parents can limit their child’s ability to purchase snacks and/or a la carte items.

May 1 of each year accounts must have sufficient funds to purchase meals and a la carte items. Any account that is negative or does not contain the full amount to purchase a meal or item will be declined. If a meal is declined, the selected meal will be removed and a courtesy meal will be offered.

*Meal restrictions will stay permanently on a child’s account until a parent contacts us to remove the restriction. Please click here to complete the online form.
