Wakefield Community School

Please read the recent changes to School Meals & Charges:

The district’s policy on charged meals is:
💲 Meal Charges & Negative Balances:
Students may charge meals to their lunch account. The district will allow charging of up to fifty dollars ($50.00) when funds are not available.
Once a student’s account balance falls below –$50.00, the district reserves the right to deny further meal service until funds are added or alternative payment arrangements are made.

🍕 À la carte & second entrée purchases:
Students with a negative account balance shall not be permitted to purchase à la carte items or second entrées until the account balance is brought current. This ensures compliance with USDA guidance that reimbursable meals are prioritized and that additional items may be restricted when accounts are delinquent.

📲 Communication & Support:
The district will notify families of low or negative account balances in a timely and discreet manner using available contact methods (e.g., email, robocall, written notice).
The district will provide information on how to apply for free or reduced-price meal benefits, how to make payments to lunch accounts, and available support options for families unable to pay.

📑 Federal Requirements:
Students who are certified as eligible for free meals cannot be denied a reimbursable meal regardless of account balance; however, restrictions on à la carte purchases or seconds will apply.

We may have gotten behind on sharing, but that doesn't mean good things aren't happening. SO MANY Trojans have been recognized for showing Positivity Project strengths! Melvin was recognized a few weeks ago for Social Intelligence. Then, during our review week, Camila, Eason, and Domingo were recognized for Kindness, Arianna for Perseverance, Jacoby for Social Intelligence, and Alke for Other People Mindset: Helping Others when they Struggle. Additionally, Mr. Farup was blown away by the Kindness of Miss. Rooney's 5th graders, and he appreciates Kayla, Linzy, Alejandra, Isabella, Genesis, Sophia, and Rodrigo's Kindness on the playground!

💖 Roses are red, violets are blue, Wakefield’s Speech Meet is Friday, best of luck to our crew! 💖

We are so excited to celebrate another one of our outstanding seniors, Kinslee Metzler! Kinslee has been selected for the Kearney Law Opportunities Program (KLOP) at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. This is a huge accomplishment as it fully covers her undergrad tuition at UNK, and it guarantees her a spot in law school at UNL.

Kinslee is the definition of well-rounded and driven. She’s involved in NHS, FCCLA, FBLA, and competes in basketball, volleyball, and track- all while being a great role model for those around her.

We are so proud of you, Kinslee! Wakefield will definitely miss you, but we have no doubt you’re going to do amazing things and accomplish every goal you set your sights on. Congratulations!

Game Day!
