BREAKFAST AT SCHOOL
Take advantage of this option at both Friess Lake Elementary and Richfield Middle School, to ensure your child gets a nutritious start to their day. Recent studies show a link between nutrition and learning. A nutritious breakfast helps students be more alert, so they can actively participate in class. Breakfast has vitamins and nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
Breakfast at school is affordable too! A full breakfast is just $1.85. Meal assistance is available through an approved Free & Reduced application.
Students participating in our breakfast program at Richfield Middle School will have the option of getting off the bus and going into the cafe with plenty of time to eat before class or getting breakfast in their classroom during morning announcements.
HEALTHY SNACK PROCEDURE
The Richfield Middle School Staff encourages your child to have healthy snacks during the designated snack time at school. Please help your child to pack healthy snacks and lunches. Please do not pack soda for your child. Be sure to check with your child’s teacher when bringing special occasion treats to school. No outside food is to be brought to school for someone other than your child‘s lunch or breakfast, unless authorized by the District Administrator.
COMPUTERIZED MEAL ACCOUNT SYSTEM
A food service account will be established for each family. This Meal Accounting System is a pre-pay system that must be maintained at a positive balance. Each student will be assigned a five-digit identification number that can be entered into a keypad when making a purchase. This five-digit number will stay with your child/children through 8th grade. When a purchase is made by a student, the amount of the purchase is deducted from the balance in their account. You can turn on/off a food service email alert through Skyward Family Access to be notified when your food service balance falls below $10.00. An automated email will be sent out notifying you of your low balance. Payment is due at this time. Your account balance and a list of purchases can be found on Skyward Family Access.
ONLINE PAYMENTS
Parents will be able to make payments online for their Food Service fees, school fees, co-curricular fees, etc. through the Skyward Family Access portal. The district has e-Funds for Schools in place for payment convenience. Parents will need to set up their accounts through the e-Funds site at:

ON-SITE DEPOSITS
Breakfast, lunch, and milk money can be brought into school at any time. Only one check per family is needed regardless of what school your child attends. Charge cards are also accepted. When sending your payment to school please include the following information on the outside of your child’s envelope: CHILD’S FIRST AND LAST NAME. Checks should be made payable to the Holy Hill Area School District (HHASD).
MEAL ASSISTANCE
Applications for meal assistance are accepted throughout the entire school year. A new application must be on file each year and benefits will not begin until the application has been processed. Applications can be found in online or a paper copy can be picked up in the office at either Friess Lake Elementary or Richfield Middle School.
Qualifying families will receive breakfast at no cost, or at the reduced price of $0.30, and lunch at no cost, or the reduced price of $0.40
Only one full breakfast and lunch per day qualifies for meal assistance. All families who believe they may qualify for meal assistance are encouraged to apply even if their child may not purchase breakfast or lunch. This helps the school qualify for additional educational programs and funds. Qualifying families may also have eligible school fees waived.
LATE TO SCHOOL/MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS
If your child will be late to school and will be having hot lunch, a call to the office is needed by 8:40am.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are always needed to help with lunch at both Friess Lake Elementary and Richfield Middle School. If you are interested, please call either office for information. Friess Lake Elementary School at 628-2380 and Richfield Middle School at 628-1032.
