MEET OUR CREW!

Our staff is very excited to serve the children of the Watertown School District!

Our Back to School Nutrition Letter contains important information to assist you in preparing for a new school year. It includes a table that outlines the cost per meal and the cost for the year based on the full school year calendar for one student.

We accept payments via cash or check to your student's school or online using your MyMealtime account. See this flyer for more information on the MyMealtime app. For assistance, please call the Nutrition Office at 605-882-6325 or email Caitlin.Bach@k12.sd.us.

Full menus can be found here: Dining Menu

The Watertown School District Nutrition Services Department has an established meal charge policy in place for all students. The purpose of having a meal charging policy enables our schools to establish consistent and clear food service account procedures throughout the District. The policy may be found here.

YOU MUST COMPLETE A NEW FREE/REDUCED APPLICATION EVERY YEAR!

• If you believe your family qualifies for free or reduced-price meals, you must complete an application before the start of the school year to avoid being charged for meals on the first day of school.

• Families with students who qualified for SNAP/TANF for the prior school year or qualified for free or reduced-price meals for the prior school year, have 30 school days to complete a new application.

• Free and Reduced Priced Meal Applications are available online via Campus Parent Portal. Paper copies are available from and may be returned to each school office.

• Please check out this video to help you complete your online application through the Campus Parent Portal.

REFUNDS AND TRANSFERS

As stated in the Meal Account Policy, funds remaining in a student's account at year-end will be carried over to the next school year. Parents of students that graduate or move away may request that their account balance be refunded to them. Parents of graduates may also request that the account balance be transferred to a sibling's account. These requests shall be made via email or phone call to the Nutrition Services Director and must be made within 60 (sixty) days. Unclaimed balances shall become the property of the Watertown School District Nutrition Services Needy Fund.
