Most public schools have now upgraded their cafeteria's meal-buying system. In many schools, students who do not have adequate funding on their meal-account card go hungry. Meanwhile, bus students complain about arriving too late to eat breakfast at their given school. Bus students believe that it's unfair that their peers, who walk to school, are able to purchase a school breakfast. If students arrive late, to their morning classroom, they often are marked as "absent" or "tardy".
Suggestion: If necessary, contact your school's principal, morning teacher, and/or cafeteria manager to make arrangements. You may be referred to speak to your child's guidance counselor, if an ongoing challenge with your child's bus route or financial situation. Along with "How was you day?", add to the conversation by asking your child(ren) what items they chose from their school's cafeteria's menu.
