MEAL ACCOUNT DEPOSITS 
 
Money can be sent in cash or check form to the schools. Please make checks out to "(school name) Cafeteria."
  • It must be sealed in an envelope with the students name and amount enclosed.
  • The envelopes must be put in the money deposit boxes located in the cafeterias PRIOR to lunch service.
  • We will not be providing change so please send the exact amount you want deposited to your students meal account.
  • Depositing money BEFORE lunch service is optimal for quickening efficiency to get students through the lunch lines and in their seats enjoying their meals. 
The other option is to deposit funds on the accounts through SchoolCafe with a credit card. The link and directions for this process are located in the "Links" section.
Thank you for working together with us.

                                                                             MEAL CHARGE POLICY

The following charge policy was approved by the Tullahoma City BOE.

Currently for School Year 25-26, all TCS students will have free meals through Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

School meal programs that allow meal charges must have a written policy defining the guidelines for charging meals. Uncollected charges that are deemed bad debt must be paid from a source other than school nutrition program federal funds. 

1. Faculty  in Tullahoma City Schools may not charge any food or drink to their accounts. Food Prices are attached in the "Food Prices" Section.

2. Students are not allowed to charge al a carte items. Students will negative balances carried over from the previous school year are not allowed to purchase al a carte items until they pay off their negative balance.

3. The Board of Education will reimburse the school nutrition program for unpaid charges.

 

 We  qualify as a Community Eligibility Provision District (CEP) based on poverty levels District wide. We are happy to be able to feed ALL students, at all schools, regardless of income,  at no cost for breakfast and lunch. 

Our staff will continue to notify direct certification eligibility for all households even though we are district wide CEP. 

Mission Statement

The Tullahoma City Schools Nutrition Program vision is to feed children nutritious and delicious meals, one day at a time.
