Do not vandalize your locker (write on it with a marker or pen), inside or out.
Lockers may not be decorated with wrapping paper, balloons or other items. Doing so
may be considered vandalism.
Do not leave food in your locker overnight.
The Principal or other designated official may, at any time, inspect lockers or other storage
facilities (desks, cubbies, etc.) provided for student use.
Lunch/Cafeteria Meals
A complete lunch is provided in our cafeteria. A copy of the lunch menu is distributed to
each student, monthly, to assist in the planning of lunches for the month. Students may
select a hot lunch, cold cut sandwiches, and milk or juice beverage for $2.80. Snacks like
fruit, chips, cookies, and ice cream are also available at a separate charge.
Monies can be deposited into your child’s lunch account as an established line of credit.
Whenever your son/daughter selects lunch items, he/she swipes his/her ID card or punches
his/her id number into the keypad next to the cash register. The cashier will verify that the
person pictured on the screen is making the purchase. The amount due is immediately
deducted from the available balance and the account is updated with each purchase.
Students may also prepay lunches at the cost of $2.80 each by cash or check. Make checks
payable to Teaneck Board of Education. Eligible families will receive either a reducedprice lunch or free meals based upon review of their financial disclosure application.
The District has a new wellness policy that applies to school lunches, in accordance with
State regulations.
