The staff at Marshall Elementary is genuinely interested in your child eating a well-balanced meal. We have an excellent cafeteria staff that prepares nutritious meals daily. The cafeteria operates under the National School Lunch Program regulations. Breakfast and lunch are important to enhance your child’s academic performance and achievement. We ask that you encourage your child to eat the breakfast and lunch provided. All students will have the opportunity to purchase any item on the menu in addition to the regular plate. 

Information and an application for free and reduced breakfast and lunch will be sent home with all students.

 MEALS MAY BE PAID FOR BY THE MONTH, WEEK OR DAY. Checks should be made payable to PWCFS. (Prince William County Food Services)

LUNCH CHARGES: It is a recognized fact that students forget their lunch money occasionally. For this reason students may charge their lunch through the lunchroom. CHARGED LUNCHES SHOULD BE PAID THE NEXT DAY FOLLOWING THE CHARGE. If charges are not paid, parents will be sent a statement for charged meals.

CAFETERIA POLICIES:

1.      Students should have money out and ready as they go through the serving line.

2.      In order for the cafeteria servers to correctly prepare plates, students are asked not to talk once they enter the doors in the serving area except for making choices of food items.

3.      Students must get all food as they go through the line.

4.      Students are expected to sit in their class’ designated area.

5.      Students who have finished their lunches should sit with both feet under the table, keep talking to a whisper and wait for the teacher to signal for them to empty their trays before leaving.

6.      Students should not leave trash or food on the table or floor around them and should line up quietly before leaving the cafeteria.

7.      Students should use self-control and good manners.
