Bethel Nutrition Policies

The District’s goal is for all students to enter the classroom with the nutrition needed to maximize learning. No student will be denied meals based on their account payment status.
Payments are accepted online at mymealtime.com. There is no fee to use this service. At mymealtime.com you can monitor accounts and set payment reminders. Checks and cash payments are also accepted at your child’s school.
Households are expected to prepay for meals and keep their accounts up to date on at least a weekly basis.
Efforts will be made to collect payments on overdue accounts and/or assess ability to pay. Assistance with lunch payments are available on a limited basis to families experiencing temporary hardship. Details can be found in the Nutrition Services Administrative Rule (PDF)
For information on accounts and payments, please call Alice Hull at 541.461.6401, Ext. 4197, or by email: alice.hull@bethel.k12.or.us
