*In recent years the district has been able to absorb the cost of fees on behalf of families for making online payments, but due to a change in our food service technology system and an overall increase in costs to operate the National School Lunch Program we are unable to continue to do so at this time. We do hope to be able to resume this practice at some point in the future while continually working to provide quality meals to all students. Thank you for your understanding. Please remember that students are always welcome to add money to their lunch accounts with no associated fees by simply bringing cash or check to school. The fee for online payments will be a flat fee not dependent on the amount of money added to your student's lunch account, therefore to minimize the impact of this fee we suggest the following options:

• If it is possible for your family, you may increase the amount you deposit in to your student's account when utilizing the online payments, minimizing the number of fees.
• Send cash or check with your student to be deposited into their account.

Please note that there is no charge for accessing all other features of the online system. You will be able to monitor the deposits as they occur, account balance, as well as review your child's purchase history.

CEP is a provision from the Healthy, Hunger -Free Kids Act of 2010 that allows schools with high poverty rates to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.  A school is eligible to participate if a minimum of 40% of the students enrolled are receiving other Federal program benefits. 

Kenton County School District will be participating in the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program.  As part of this program, Beechgrove Elementary, Caywood Elementary, Fort Wright Elementary, River Ridge Elementary, Summit View Academy, Taylor Mill Elementary, Turkey Foot Middle, White’s Tower Elementary, and Woodland Middle Schools will offer healthy meals every school day at NO COST to the students due to the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision for school year 2023-2024.  Students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a household application.

We are asking all parents/guardians to visit your child’s Infinite Campus parent portal and view their child’s Health Tab.  We are seeing immunization non-compliance for a variety of reasons.  Most non-compliance issues are the result of the new immunization requirements. Please view your child’s Health Tab for these issues:

• If Hepatitis A vaccine dates aren’t displayed, please contact your healthcare provider.  Many students have received the Hepatitis A vaccine, but the dates were not indicated on the certificate currently at school. Proper immunization for Hep A is two doses of the vaccine 6 months apart.  If your child has already received the age-appropriate vaccines for school entry, he or she will not be required to receive the vaccine(s) again.  Providing an updated immunization certificate with these required vaccines is all that is needed. 
• Students entering 6^th grade need a physical exam as well as Tdap and the first Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine
• Students aged 16 years or older should have two doses of Meningococcal (MCV4).  If the first dose of MCV was received at age sixteen years or older, the second dose is not required. This is especially important for seniors if you are going to college.

If you find your child is missing these required immunizations, please contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to address these issues. School personnel will also be reaching out to parents/guardians regarding the health requirements for their children.  Anytime you get a new immunization certificate, please make a copy for your records.
