Lunch includes 1 entree, up to 2 fruit sides, up to 2 vegetable sides, and 1 milk choice. To be considered a full meal, lunch must include a fruit, vegetable, or juice. 

Students may decline food groups as long as there is at least 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable plus 2 other food groups on the tray. For the same price, students may select 3, 4, or all 5 food groups for a complete meal!

If your child is a senior who is graduating or a student who has withdrawn from the district, your child might have a balance in his/her school food service meal account.  You may choose to have this money refunded to you, transferred to another child’s (sibling) account, or be donated to the district’s general food service meal account to  be distributed equally among all foodservice accounts for students having a negative balance.   

School Meal Account Refund Form

The universal free school meal program that has been available to ALL students for the past two years expired June 30. To receive free and reduced cost meals at school you must complete a Free/Reduced Meal Application. If you are unable to access the online application a paper application is available in the cafeteria and the Main Office

Families must complete a Free/Reduced Meal Application each year. The application is online and easy to complete. Login to your student's PaySchools Central account to access the application.

*If the application link in PaySchools Central is greyed out and unavailable that means the student is already approved for free/reduced school meals.
