Cafeteria
St. Aloysius’ cafeteria is supplied and staffed by the Bowling Green City Schools System. The menu is based on the nutritional guidelines set up by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Menus are sent home monthly. Lunch prices for the 09-10 year are $2.00 for grades K-6 and $2.10 for grades 7-8. In addition to lunch, students may purchase milk for .40, as well as snacks for varying costs.
The cafeteria uses a computerized cashiering system. This system enables parents to put money on an account for each child instead of paying cash each day. All students are assigned an identification number for the BG hot lunch computer system. All student lunch accounts may be monitored by parents (including a list of purchases) and lunches may be purchased on line at www.cafeprepay.com. Checks made payable to BGCS may be sent to the school office in an envelope marked “lunch money” with the student’s name, grade, and ID number. Parents are asked to indicate how to allocate the amount to the student’s individual account, by listing if the money is for lunches only and whether the child is allowed to purchase ala carte or snack items. You may also download this form from the Bowling Green School District.

Lunch must be ordered in the classroom by 9:30 am. If a student will be late to school and needs a lunch, parents are asked to order the child’s lunch when calling the school office to report the child’s late appointment.
Free or Reduced Price Lunches: Since our lunch program is under the Federal Lunch Program, free or reduced lunch prices are available for families who need help on a temporary or permanent basis. Applications for this program are available in the school office. The form is included in the weekly school yellow envelope in early September. Please complete and return to the school office. Acceptance is based on federal standards. Using the computerized cafeteria system ensures privacy for you and your student in the lunch line. No one will know whether any child has prepaid for lunches or receives free lunches.
