Food Services and Guidelines

The Cleburne County School System provides a food program in each school and participates in the federally sponsored Child Nutrition Program. This program is designated to assist school systems in providing nutritious lunches to all students at reasonable prices and free and reduced lunches to those students unable to pay. Application forms for free and reduced lunches are furnished to students.  Students who are interested may apply by completing the form and returning it to the Main office. Accounting for free meals is done in a manner that protects the anonymity of the students receiving free meals.

Cleburne County High School subscribes to a closed lunch policy.  Students are not permitted to leave the school campus or have someone bring lunch to them during the lunch session.  Students are not allowed to bring competitive foods (McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc.) into the cafeteria during the school day.  Students who may forget lunch/money may have a parent/guardian bring it to the office before lunch session.

For health and sanitation reasons students are not allowed to chew gum, eat, or drink (outside of approved deviations for medical conditions, cafeteria, and the break area) items during the course of the academic day.  This includes classrooms, hallways, and outdoor areas of the campus.  Students who bring their lunch must store it properly and eat it during their designated lunchtime in the cafeteria (exceptions to this procedure must be approved by an administrator).  Food or drink should not be transported from class to class.

Cafeteria Rules

1.   All students must report quietly and orderly to the cafeteria with their teacher at the assigned time.  Do not "go ahead" or "trail behind" your class.

2.   Students are not allowed to go to their locker or restroom while going to and from the cafeteria without a teacher in escort.

3.   No student should leave the cafeteria unsupervised.

4.   No breaking line. Remain in a single file.

5.   Sit at your assigned table(s) throughout lunch. No wandering around or visiting with others. No student should get out of his/her seat except to dispose of trash and trays.

6.   Keep noise level to a minimum.

7.   No trash should be left at your table.

8.   Remain at your assigned table until dismissed. Teachers will dismiss students from lunch only after tables have been inspected for cleanliness.
