Nutritional Information Available at www.hhh.k12.ny.us

September 2013 - June 2014 Dear Parents, The Half Hollow Hills School District is committed to preparing and serving nutritionally appropriate food to our school-age consumers that conform to the “Dietary Guidelines for Americans”. A diet with a variety of grains, vegetables, fruits and proteins does have a positive effect on students’ health, happiness, and educational success. A healthy diet also plays an important part in our total lifestyle, ensuring a better quality of life and is a vital link to the intellectual fitness of our students.

We believe, by providing high quality, nutritiously prepared meals, our Child Nutrition Program is a critical part of the total school experience.

Our school lunches meet the latest federal nutrition standards including age-appropriate calorie limits, larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students must take at least one serving of produce), more whole grains and less sodium.

We continually monitor food purchases to avoid foods that contain chemical additives, artificial color, artificial flavor enhancers, tropical oils, trans fat and excessive sodium and sugar. Peanuts and tree nuts are not an ingredient in the foods we sell. However, the chocolate chip cookies are made in a facility that processes nuts. Also, in protecting our environment, we use only biodegradable and recyclable serving products.

2013-2014 PRE-PAID MEALS & SNACKS: Pre-paid meals and snacks are available for purchase as of the first day of school. On-line payments can be made using “Infinite Campus / Vanco” which can be accessed from the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Sign-in and follow the directions to add money to your child’s account. Though it is preferred that parents utilize the on-line payment system, cash, checks and money orders are accepted at all registers. Please send in deposits to your child’s teacher in a sealed envelope labeled with his or her name and grade. Checks and Money Orders should be made payable to "HHH School Lunch Fund”. If you are purchasing for more than one child, each child’s pre-paid meals and snacks must be purchased with a separate check or money order. When your child’s balance gets low you will receive an email and phone message so you can replenish his or her account.

All students are issued PIN numbers, regardless of whether they currently participate in the school lunch program. This PIN number will stay with your child as long as he or she attends this school. Please assist us by encouraging your child to remember their PIN number. This will help us to move the lines quickly! New students will be issued PIN numbers on their first day of school. Also, student photos will be attached to each account for identification and security purposes.

As a parent, you can also choose whether your child can have unrestricted use of prepaid funds, (meaning that they can purchase anything sold in the school’s cafeteria), or if you prefer, you can restrict your child’s purchases to “Lunch Only”.

We encourage your child’s participation in our innovative food service program and thank you for your continued support.
