Students in Sure Start and Grades Kindergarten through six must eat lunch at school. Students may not leave the school grounds at noon without parents to sign them out.  Parents may send a lunch each day or purchase lunch credits from AAFES.  AAFES lunch accounts may be set up at the PX - Bismarck Kaserne, the Katterbach Shopette, or at the Barton Shopette.  Reduced price or free lunches can be applied for through the Katterbach Army Community Service (ACS).  All parents receive an application upon registering a student. 

Helpful hints: 

1. Lunch tickets cannot be purchased at school. 

2. Each individual ticket must have the student's name on them. 

3. Should you not have a ticket, the cost of a full priced meal is $2.05. 

4. Charges, explained below, will be accepted on a per day basis.

5. For our returning students, sorry, tickets purchased during the previous school year are not valid during the current school year. 

6. Parents are always welcome to have lunch with their children. Just notify the office by 0900 if you would like a school lunch.

As you’d expect, children must bring a ticket every day even for free or reduced priced tickets.  When a child charges a meal, sponsors must pay for it with either tickets or cash as soon as possible.  When your child forgets his/her lunch the front office tries to avoid the charge by contacting the sponsor to bring either a lunch ticket or a lunch. 

It is Rainbow School’s policy that certain food and drink items do not belong at school.

The general policy is as follows:

                           Please, no gum or candy,

                           No soda pop or Kool-Aid type drinks. 

We encourage all parents to supply fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and fruit juices for snacks and school lunch.  Please save your gum, candy and soda for rewards at home. There may be times when a teacher may authorize the “prohibited items above” for a special classroom activity.  A note from the teacher will be sent with your student when such requests are made.  Thank you for understanding.
