Cafeteria Information

The Waterloo School District offers both breakfast and lunch on every FULL school day.  Please note that breakfast is NOT served on 1/2 days.

NOTE:  Each school offers low fat/skim milk and 100% fruit juice at each meal. Both the High School and the Jr. High School offer a fresh salad bar each day!

School Lunch Program

Our District operates under the School Lunch Program and offers meals to all students.  Meals are also available at a free or at a reduced rate to those families who are directly certified through the State of Illinois or complete a family application and are found eligible for these benefits.  Applications are available at each school office and from the cafeteria - rms@wcusd5.net.  A new application must be completed each school year and turned into Ruth Shull, Director of Cafeterias - 200 N Rogers St., Waterloo, Il.
Reduced price meals are $ .30 for breakfast and $ .40 for lunch at all schools.

Debit System

Each cafeteria operates on a debit system.  Simply deposit any amount onto the students account and he/she has access to that money when entering their personal ID/PIN number at meal time.  Students may bring money into school with them in an envelope that includes their name, ID number, homeroom (if pertinent), date and amount.  It is our preference that students turn this money in prior to lunch so that it may be deposited early and ready for their use during meal service. One check may be written for multiple students - even if they attend different school. Simply clarify on the envelope the amount each student should receive. 

RevTrak

Our district offers parents the ability to pay online at: www.wcusd5.net .  Student accounts may also be monitored from the district's website - you must have your students ID number to access this information

Students in grades K - 8 are allowed to charge one meal and then asked to deposit money on their account.  Students who have reached their charge limit will be offered a commodity sandwich and a beverage ( milk or juice ) of their choice until a deposit is made.  Students in grades K - 5 will have computer generated letter sent home with them when their account nears a zero balance.  This is our vehicle to communicate account information with our parents. 

Adult Meal Pricing

Adult meals prices are the same throughout the district:  $ 1.25 for breakfast and $ 2.50 for lunch.
