Lunch Update - July 5, 2022

Dear Parents – We wanted to remind you again that for this coming school year, the federal school lunch program will not be free for all students this year. Therefore, it’s important that everyone completes the federal Free & Reduced Application to ensure whoever qualifies for free or reduced lunches, receives them. Given the rising costs in food prices, it’s possible more families than ever might qualify for free and reduced lunches. The online application process for the 2022-2023 schoolyear begins tomorrow, July 6. Going to this online submission makes the process easier, faster, safer and more private and secure. To complete the online application, go to www.schoollunchapp.com, click on “Start Application,” then enter Idaho under State, and for school district, scroll down until you find our school. Paper applications are available to those who would prefer it by calling the school and leaving a message to request one. (Families currently receiving food stamps do not need to complete an application. If the USDA offers a PEBT [Pandemic Food Stamps] again this school year families will still need to have a free and reduced application on file at the school in order to receive the PEBT benefit.)

School Lunch Prices for 2022-2023:

1^st-6^th grade: $2.50

7^th-8^th grade: $2.75

Adults: $4.35

If a family qualifies for reduced lunches, students will pay just .40 per meal.

Thank you for completing and submitting the form. We look forward to seeing your students on the first day of school on Monday, August 8!

Mrs. Stallcop, Administrator

Estimados padres: Queríamos recordarles nuevamente que para este próximo año escolar, el programa federal de almuerzos escolares no será gratuito para todos los estudiantes este año. Por lo tanto, es importante que todos completen la Solicitud federal gratis y a precio reducido para garantizar que quien califique para almuerzos gratis o a precio reducido los reciba. Dado el aumento de los costos de los alimentos, es posible que más familias que nunca califiquen para almuerzos gratuitos o reducidos. El proceso de solicitud en línea para el año escolar 2022-2023 comienza mañana, 6 de julio. Ir a esta presentación en línea hace que el proceso sea más fácil, rápido, seguro y privado. Para completar la solicitud en línea, vaya a www.schoollunchapp.com, haga clic en "Iniciar solicitud", luego ingrese Idaho en Estado, y para distrito escolar, desplácese hacia abajo hasta que encuentre nuestra escuela. Las solicitudes en papel están disponibles para aquellos que lo prefieran llamando a la escuela y dejando un mensaje para solicitar una. (Las familias que actualmente reciben cupones de alimentos no necesitan completar una solicitud. Si el USDA ofrece un PEBT [Cupones de alimentos pandémicos] nuevamente este año escolar, las familias aún necesitarán tener una solicitud gratuita y reducida en el archivo de la escuela para recibir el beneficio PEBT).

Precios del almuerzo escolar para 2022-2023:

1° a 6° grado: $2.50

7°-8° grado: $2.75

Adultos: $4.35

Si una familia califica para almuerzos reducidos, los estudiantes pagarán solo .40 por comida.

Gracias por completar y enviar el formulario. ¡Esperamos ver a sus estudiantes el primer día de clases el lunes 8 de agosto!

Sra. Stallcop, administradora

Lunch Update - August 6, 2021

The lunch menu for Monday and Tuesday has changed. Monday will be cheese pizza and Tuesday will be chicken chunks. Looking forward to seeing all the students next week!

Lunch Update - July 13, 2021

Great News! Free lunches for ALL students will continue for the 2021-2022 school year! This means all our students are able to have school lunch for FREE this coming school year!

2020-2021 USDA Free Lunch Program for Liberty Charter School students
Good News –the USDA has extended its COVID-19 free feeding program for all of the 2020-2021 school year, or as long as funding continues! For us, this means ALL of our Liberty students will receive FREE lunches from now until the end of the school year. Please note: Lunches will not be available as follows: October break (Oct. 1-18), Thanksgiving break (Nove. 23-29), Christmas break (Dec. 21-Jan. 10), Spring break (March 25-April 11), federal holidays (9-7, 1-18, 2-15, 5-31).  Liberty kindergarten parents can pick up free lunches from our café between 10:45-11:15 am, Monday-Friday. Due to strict social-distancing protocols, no one can enter the school for meal pickup. Therefore, kindergarten parents must park their cars in the parking lot and walk to the back of the school where there will be signs on the door being used to distribute meals.

Earlier in the school year the state of Idaho dispensed money in the form of ebt balances to low income families in our school due to the lack of access to school lunches in March of 2020. Liberty’s stringent health precautions made it possible for us to provide free lunches every day of this school year to our students. The second round of ebt money will not be sent to the low income families of Liberty.

Lunch Update - September 8, 2020
UPDATE: USDA FREE MEAL PROGRAM AT LIBERTY
The USDA's COVID-19 free feeding program that will run until Dec. 31, or until funding runs out, has been modified so that Liberty is a free meal site only for its enrolled students. In other words, only students enrolled at Liberty, K-12, are eligible for Liberty's free lunches. ALL Liberty students will receive FREE lunches now until our Christmas break begins on Friday, Dec. 18, or as long as funding continues. Liberty kindergarten parents can pick up free lunches from our café between 10:45-11:15 am, Monday-Friday. Due to strict social-distancing protocols, no one can enter the school for meal pickup. Therefore, kindergarten parents must park their cars in the parking lot and walk to the back of the school where there will be signs on the door being used to distribute meals. Please Note: No lunches will be available during the school’s October break (Oct. 1-18) and Thanksgiving break, Nov. 23-29. Liberty Charter School is an equal opportunity provider.

Lunch Update - June 10, 2020
Hello Parents – Here are some updates regarding our school lunch program:

n  In the midst of school going to remote learning and then finishing the year being able to pick up free meals daily, please remember that prior to end of this school year, students’ lunchroom accounts need to be current. If students had a balance owed prior to us going to remote learning, please go to www.myschoolbucks.com to bring them current, or drop off a check or cash at the lunchroom or front office. If you’d like to review the meal plan charge policy, go to www.libertycharterschool.com to the School Lunch Menu/Account Info tab. Policies are also listed under the school policies tab. If you have questions or concerns, please call the food services director at 208-466-7952 and press “3” for the lunchroom. Please know, too, that annually Mrs. Stallcop creates a personal lunchroom fund she uses throughout the year to help ensure no child is without a lunch. Thank you.

n  Our school was able to receive a waiver from the State Department of Education allowing us to keep our meal prices the same going into the 2020-2021 school year. Therefore, prices for 2020-2021 will be:

Grades 1-6: $2.25
Grades 7-12: $2.50
Adults: $4.00
Milk: $.40

n Free and Reduced Price Applications will be available online as of July 5, 2020. We encourage all parents who think they might qualify to complete and submit the application. Doing so not only ensures children receive healthy school lunches within their family’s budget, but the overall percentage of students who qualify also determines the Title IA funding the school receives yearly, which is used to provide daily, additional learning time between teachers and students. All personal family information included in the application is kept confidential so that only the food services director receives information regarding a family’s eligibility – in other words, information contained in a family’s application is not shared beyond it being received by the food services director. To complete the application online, go to http://libertycharter.schoollunchapp.com.

Hola padres: aquí hay algunas actualizaciones sobre nuestro programa de almuerzo escolar:

 En medio de la escuela, yendo al aprendizaje remoto y luego terminando el año pudiendo recoger comidas gratis todos los días, recuerde que antes de que finalice este año escolar, las cuentas del comedor de los estudiantes deben estar al día. Si los estudiantes tenían un saldo adeudado antes de que nosotros fuéramos a un aprendizaje remoto, visite www.myschoolbucks.com para actualizarlos, o deje un cheque o efectivo en el comedor o en la oficina principal. Si desea revisar la política de cargos del plan de comidas, vaya a www.libertycharterschool.com a la pestaña Menú de almuerzo escolar / Información de cuenta. Las políticas también se enumeran en la pestaña de políticas escolares. Si tiene preguntas o inquietudes, llame al director de servicios de alimentos al 208-466-7952 y presione "3" para el comedor. Tenga en cuenta también que, anualmente, la Sra. Stallcop crea un fondo de comedor personal que utiliza durante todo el año para asegurarse de que ningún niño se quede sin almuerzo. Gracias.

 Nuestra escuela pudo recibir una exención del Departamento de Educación del Estado que nos permitió mantener los precios de nuestras comidas iguales durante el año escolar 2020-2021. Por lo tanto, los precios para 2020-2021 serán:
o Grados 1-6: $ 2.25
o Grados 7-12: $ 2.50
o Adultos: $ 3.95
o Leche: $ .40

Applications Las solicitudes gratuitas y de precio reducido estarán disponibles en línea a partir del 5 de julio de 2020. Alentamos a todos los padres que creen que pueden calificar para completar y enviar la solicitud. Hacerlo no solo garantiza que los niños reciban almuerzos escolares saludables dentro del presupuesto de su familia, sino que el porcentaje general de estudiantes que califican también determina el financiamiento del Título IA que la escuela recibe anualmente, que se utiliza para proporcionar tiempo de aprendizaje diario adicional entre maestros y estudiantes. Toda la información personal de la familia incluida en la solicitud se mantiene confidencial para que solo el director de servicios de alimentos reciba información sobre la elegibilidad de una familia; en otras palabras, la información contenida en la solicitud de una familia no se comparte más allá de ser recibida por el director de servicios de alimentos. Para completar la solicitud en línea, vaya a http://libertycharter.schoollunchapp.com.

Thank you for your support as we get this meal combo pick-up program underway.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow and in the days ahead!
