Cafeteria Account Balance Refunds
All cafeteria account balances will automatically carry over to the next school year and will be available for use on the first day of school.
Parents/guardians of students who are withdrawing or who have graduated from CCPS may request a transfer or refund of positive student cafeteria account balances by submitting the Request for Refund or Transfer of Cafeteria Account Balance form.
Relocations
If you are relocating from CCPS, we have multiple options available for the remaining cafeteria balances.
- Transfer Funds: Request remaining cafeteria balance to be transferred to a sibling still enrolled in the district or designated student.
- Refund: Request the remaining cafeteria balance to be refunded. This will be sent via mail as a check and takes 4 to 6 weeks for processing.
Note: If you have been using the automatic prepayment function on the LINQ Connect website, please make sure to turn off the automatic prepayments before requesting a transfer or refund.
Graduating Students
On June 30 of each year, accounts for all graduating seniors, as well as for students no longer enrolled in CCPS, will be deemed inactive. Parents/guardians have up to one year (the following June 30) to request a transfer or refund of the balance by contacting the CCPS Food Service Department. After one year, any remaining account balances may be treated as a donation to the Food Service Department General Fund.
Please note that during the month of May, the RHHS cafeteria manager makes an effort to refund Senior account balances to the student prior to the end of the school year.
Staff
Former staff members may request a transfer or refund of the balance by submitting the Request for Refund or Transfer of Cafeteria Balance form to the CCPS Food Service Department. After one year of having an inactive account, former staff member account balances may be treated as a donation to the Food Service Department General Fund.
