Things to Know
- Parents/guardians will be required to pre-pay for meals using MySchoolBucks (website/app that allows money to be digitally loaded onto student accounts).
- Parents who are already signed up for MySchoolBucks do not need to sign up again, except if your student is moving from the Lower Campus to the Johnson Campus.
- Parents using MySchoolBucks can select to receive low balance alerts on the website/app and will be emailed a monthly balance.
- If a student’s account does not have the funds to cover the cost of a meal, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide a meal, and if we do their account will still be charged and will drop into a negative balance. We will also inform parents/guardians of this fact so they know to replenish their student’s account.
- Students who are eligible for Free Lunch will not be billed.
- Students eligible for Reduced Lunch will be charged $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch. Parents/guardians will need to follow the same guidelines above about loading student accounts with funds.
- Parents/guardians of students who currently have a negative balance will need to bring that balance into the positive to be able to participate in LFNO Meal Services.
- Parents with questions or concerns about student account balances should email the Coordinator of Meal Services (John-Henry Trant at jtrant@lfno.org)
- Parents requesting a refund should also email the Coordinator of Meal Services (John-Henry Trant at jtrant@lfno.org).

Vehicles must enter the school grounds through the entrance on Constance Street and drive through school yard to designated unloading spots. Gates open at 8:10 AM and close at 8:30 AM.
To enter the schoolyard, vehicles must access Constance St. via Nashville lakebound. Do not enter the carpool line from Magazine St. onto Nashville or Eleonore Street to Constance. Following this practice will ensure that no traffic ever backs up onto Nashville to Magazine Street. Parents are expected to be courteous and follow the protocol.
Parents are to remain in cars at all times. Children should be ready to exit the vehicle quickly. Give kisses and au revoirs before the unloading zone. For safety reasons, please do not permit child(ren) to exit vehicles before the designated unloading zone. Staff will help unload students in the unloading zone and direct them into the building to their class.

The carpool line begins at the Constance Street gate. Student’s names will be called. Staff will escort students to vehicles in the schoolyard. Parents are asked to refrain from lining up for carpool before 4:05. This practice will maintain neighborly rapport and prevent traffic back-ups.
Parents will be provided a placard with child(ren)’s name(s). The placard should be visibly displayed on the driver’s side dashboard. After the child’s/children’s name has been collected by duty staff, vehicles may then proceed down Constance Street to the loading area where students will be placed into the vehicle. Parents are asked to remain in their vehicles at all times. *Rainy Day Procedures – proceed down Constance Street and turn left into the schoolyard gates where your child(ren) will be brought to the vehicle, exit right through the other gate. In September, parents must utilize the Pikmykid app for safe and effective dismissal procedures. More information coming soon regarding Pikmykid.
By working together, the carpool line should progress efficiently, and everyone, including our neighbors, will be happy.
