Dover Sherborn Public Schools
Food & Nutrition Services
The Dover Sherborn Public Schools’ Food and Nutrition Departments are self-funded programs. Staffing levels
do not allow for the extensive time involved in billing for charged lunches. We therefore have a “no charge”
protocol in place. Please remember the automated lunch system is a debit (not credit) account.
If your child forgets his/her lunch, lunch money, or does not have money in his/her lunch account we will
provide your child with lunch. Students are allowed to owe no more than five (5) school lunches at anytime.
Meals and milk are the only items for which they may owe. Under no circumstance will a child go without
lunch.
NON-PAYMENT CONSEQUENCES:

Your child may be given a replacement meal consisting of a peanut butter sandwich and the other
components offered with the meal on that day. A cheese sandwich will be offered if there is a peanut
allergy. You will be billed for replacement meals. We do not intend to let any child go hungry, but
parents/guardians are responsible for payment of school meals.

Lunch accounts may be deactivated rendering your child a cash customer.

Other means of collection may be invoked in cases involving greater than $50.
ASSISTANCE FROM ADMINISTRATION:
At the conclusion of the quarters or trimesters, the Dover Sherborn Public Schools’ Food and Nutrition
Departments will provide to the headmasters/principals a list of students with outstanding balances.
Administrators will contact students and/or parents/guardians to assist in collections efforts.
AUTOMATED POINT OF SALE LUNCH SYSTEM:
Students pick their desired food items and proceed to the cashier. Items chosen are recorded on the computer by
the cashier and appropriately charged to the student’s account. Students may pay with cash or use their prepaid debit account by entering their PIN number on the keypad. There is no need to set up an account; every
student automatically has an account. Their PIN is their local student ID. All students should learn their PIN
even when purchasing with cash. This number will follow them throughout their years with the Dover Sherborn
Public Schools and is used for other applications within the school system. It is suggested that you fund lunch
accounts with $50 - $100 depending on the grade level of the student.
Lunch Price - Elementary - $2.75 / Milk - $.50
Lunch Price – Secondary Schools - $3.25 / Milk - $.60
PREPAYMNT OPTIONS:
Prepayments may be made with check or cash at anytime. Online prepayments are an additional option for
parents/guardians through “MySchoolBucks”, www.myschoolbucks.com throughout the year.
