Cafeteria
Frelinghuysen Middle School offers a hot or cold, well-balanced lunch to its students each day. Menus are published in advance and posted in the cafeteria as well as on the web. Snacks and ice cream are sold daily. Free or reduced priced lunches are available for qualified students in accordance with Federal and State guidelines. Parents may open a “lunch account” by prepaying the cafeteria. Student ID’s will be “swiped” for accounting purposes for free or reduced lunches or pre-paid lunches. This year, Frelinghuysen will participate in the National School Breakfast Program. Students receiving free or reduced lunch will receive the same benefits at breakfast with no additional paperwork.
• Breakfast will be available to all students during homeroom only.
• No money will be collected in homeroom; all meals must be prepaid in the cafeteria the week before. Payment may be made in cash or check made out to the Food Services Dept.
• Reduced Breakfast is $.30 and a Paid Breakfast is $1.25.
• A monthly menu will be distributed the first day of school. There will not be any choices or substitutions allowed.
• Students who are absent will be credited for their meal.
• Breakfast will not be offered on half days or delayed openings.
• Lunch is not served on half days.
ATTENDANCE (FILE CODE 5113)
Board of Education policy states that students must be in attendance for 164 days in order to be considered to have successfully completed the instructional program requirements of the grade/courses in which they are enrolled. Therefore, all students are expected to be prompt and in attendance when school is in session. Absences may include the following: personal illness, illness in the family, death in the family, an appointment with a doctor (if it cannot be made outside of school hours), religious holidays and unforeseen emergencies. Parents must notify the attendance office at (973) 292- 2200, ext. 8066 when their child is absent.

Tardiness to School
Students who are not in their homeroom by the 7:55 AM bell are tardy and the attendance card will be marked as such. Students entering the building after 7:55 must pick up an admission slip from the Attendance Office. Approved reasons for tardiness are the same as for early dismissal. Late bus arrival will not be marked on a student’s records. All others are unexcused and will warrant an administrative referral after five tardies.
