School Lunches
Lunch Prices
Each meal includes an entrée, salad bar full of fruits and vegetables and the scholar’s choice of milk or water. No pre-order necessary. Your child simply goes through the lunch line and is charged at the register! Parent lunch visitors/volunteers are welcome to purchase lunch as well. You can use your child’s account or pay cash.
Scholar Meal = $3.75
Seconds = $3.50
Milk (by itself) = $1.25
Adult Lunch = $4.50
Lunch Accounts
Please add money to your child’s meal account at My School Bucks now. There you can also set up auto payments to ensure they never run out of funds. Nutrition Services policies ensure that no scholar will be denied a meal based on the balance in their meal account. In the event a scholar does not have money in their account when they come through with a lunch, they will always be allowed to eat their meal and their student account will be charged into the negative. In the event you do NOT want your child’s account to go negative, please fill out THIS FORM.
Ala Carte Sales
Age-appropriate ala carte items will be sold during the lunch period. All items sold by Nutrition Services meet USDA Federal Smart Snacks Nutrition Standards and have strict limits on calories, sodium, sugar, and whole grains. Many of the products will look like items you see in the grocery stores but are specially formulated for schools to reduce sugar and sodium and utilize whole grains. If you would like to put restrictions on your child’s purchases, please fill out THIS FORM to specify what limits you want.
Meal Benefits
If you feel like your family may qualify for Free and Reduced Meal Benefits, please fill out the application (if you haven’t already) to ensure your child is approved for the first day of meals in January. All applications will be reviewed and approved/denied within 10 business days. All scholars approved for free or reduced meal benefits will receive meals at no cost. We encourage all families to fill out this application now to ensure they are approved and not charged for lunch.
Special Diets/Food Allergies
Does your child have dietary restrictions? Would they like to eat school meals like their friends? Nutrition Services offers a Special Diet Program with modified meals for students who have a medically documented food restriction. Our dietitian will work closely with the family to create a menu that is safe for the scholar and free of their restrictions. There is no extra cost to this program, the scholar will pay the same price they would for a school meal!
