The Caddo Mills Independent School District offers a choice of healthy meals each school day. Children may buy breakfast and lunch at each school campus. Children who qualify under U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines may get meals free or at a reduced price of 40 cents for lunch and 30 cents for breakfast. If a child has a disability, as determined by a doctor, and the disability prevents the child from eating the regular school meal, the school will make substitutions prescribed by the doctor. If a substitution is needed, there will be no extra charge for the meal. The school is not required to make a substitution for a food allergy unless it meets the definition of disability. Please call for additional information at (903) 527-6056, ext.1114.

Caddo Mills ISD Prepayment/Charge Policy
Pre-payment for meals is accepted during the breakfast or lunch periods by the cashier, can be given in the school office to be picked up by the manager each day, or you may set up your child/children's account on www.myschoolaccount.comYou may pay online by using your checking/savings account OR debit/credit cards. Please note when paying online, the system doesn't update until after midnight each day, so the cashier will not see the payment until the following day.

Caddo Mills ISD Charge Policy

We strongly discourage meal charges, but we understand that an occasional emergency makes it necessary.  Parents/guardians are encouraged to utilize our online system (myschoolaccount.com) to monitor student balances as well as deposit money in the student's account using a checking account and/or credit card.  The following policies will apply regarding meal charges.

Students with a negative balance may not charge a la carte items.  Students with a negative balance will be allowed to purchase items with cash in hand.

Any negative balance on the student(s) cafeteria account is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. The grace period for the charge policy is the school year. If a student’s meal account has a negative balance, parents/guardians will receive notifications by charge notices, mail, and email. If a full payment or payment arrangements are not made in a reasonable time, and the balance is greater than $10.00, the campus Principal or a campus representative will be notified in order to attempt collection of the negative balance.

Beginning May 8th, there will be no more charging in order to get negative accounts paid by the end of the school year. Please make sure your child/children have money in their account or in hand before coming thru the line.

You may apply for free and reduced-price meals at any time during the school year.
