FREE BREAKFAST AND LUNCH IN RSS!

All students who are enrolled at any Rowan-Salisbury school can receive a free breakfast and lunch each day. CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) is a USDA-sponsored program offering free breakfast and lunch.  Summit Virtual Academy, whose students do not attend a physical RSS campus, do not qualify. 

FAQS

    • USDA Requires that all K-12 students select 3-5 of the offered components.
    • Our lunches are comprised of Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, Protein and Milk.
    • One of the components selected must be a Fruit or a Vegetable.

    • Rowan-Salisbury Schools School Nutrition Services can only accept checks written in blue or black ink. Checks will not be accepted if they are written in pencil, neon or any colored ink, other than blue or black. Our financial institution has advised us that writing checks in ink, other than blue or black, may cause important data not to image properly when it is processed by the Proof Department.
    • Return Check Fee: Rowan-Salisbury Schools School Nutrition Services will assess a $5.00 fee for all returned checks.

  • You may pay by cash or check at your child's school or you may pay online through our partner Linq Connect.

  • You can use Titan Family Portal to monitor your student's account and you can set up an alert to let you know when the account is low.

  • Excess money on a student's account remains on the students account, unless a parent submits a request in writing for a refund. If the student is promoting from elementary to middle or middle to high school the funds will follow the student. If a student moves and enrolls in another school within Rowan-Salisbury Schools District, the funds will also follow the student. However, if a student moves out of district or out of state, Parent will need to submit a request for refund in writing.

  • RSS School Nutrition will provide refunds upon parent request when a students account has a positive balance. All requests must be submitted in writing either to the School Nutrition Manager at your child's school or directly to the School Nutrition office.
