Breakfast and Lunch Program

                                      
It is the goal of Camden Board of Education School Food Services to provide a healthy and nutritious breakfast and lunch daily, while at the same time allowing students to choose from the foods they enjoy eating.

The Breakfast Program

Breakfast is offered daily before the start of the school day. Students may choose from a variety of hot bread items or cereals, fruit or juice, and milk to make a complete nutritious breakfast. A healthy school breakfast is a great way to begin a day of learning.

The Lunch Program

Students may select a lunch consisting of a protein item, 2 fruits and/or vegetables, bread, and milk from a wide variety of items offered each day. Students have an option of selecting a minimum of three or a maximum of five items to stay within the standard meal price. By offering a variety of nutritious choices for different menu items, students can select a healthy meal made up of foods that they will eat. When you choose a school lunch, you choose variety, nutrition and great taste.

Special Diets

All requests for special diets must be submitted to the Cafeteria Manager on a prescription with a physician's signature. All prescriptions must be for the current school year and can be obtained from your child's physician. For example, if your child has an allergy to milk the physician must state this on the prescription. If you have questions or comments about our program, please feel free to call School Food Services weekdays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. at (856) 966-5509/10.

Payment Options

Although meals may be paid for by the day, the preferred manner of payment is prepayment. This allows the cafeteria line to move quickly and give the students more time to sit and enjoy their meal. 

Prepayment
Prepayment can be made by cash, checks, money orders, or cashier's checks for the amount of the purchase or prepayment only. No cash will be refunded. Money orders and checks are to be made payable to ECMS Cafeteria and it is important to include your child's full name, grade, and name of the homebase teacher to insure his/her account is credited. If you are paying for more than one child, please list the requested information for each one.

Federal Free and Reduced Lunches
School Food Services offers meals free or at reduced prices to families who qualify for this benefit. An application must be completed and returned to your child's school within the first 10 days of school. Once the application is approved the student may begin receiving meals under this service. Students who were approved for benefits during the last school year will continue receiving meals under last year's approval for 20 days while new applications are being processed.
