Lunch
Menu
Hot lunch is served every school day. This month's menu is below, and a paper copy goes home with students at the start of each month.
Prices and how to pay
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Lunch, full price | $3.50 |
| Lunch, reduced price | $0.40 |
| Lunch, free | No cost |
| Extra carton of milk | $0.40 |
Lunches are paid in advance through the FACTS Family Portal. Accounts are set up by family rather than by student, so one balance covers everyone. (Families with children in more than one household are the exception; call the office and we'll set that up.)
Free and reduced-price lunches are available to families who meet income guidelines, and you can apply at any point during the school year. You don't have to wait for fall. The school office has the paperwork, and the conversation stays between you and the office.
If an account runs short, your child still eats. Call us and we'll sort it out.
Good to know
Bringing a lunch from home
Students are welcome to pack a lunch. We can't refrigerate or microwave it, so pack accordingly, and please label lunchboxes with at least a last name on the bottom or inside.
Adding to a school lunch
Students may bring an item or two from home to go alongside a cafeteria lunch, like a piece of fruit or a granola bar.
Water
Cold water with refills is available to any student who asks, every day.
How students choose
We're an "offer versus serve" cafeteria. At least five items are offered, and students in kindergarten through eighth grade take at least three, one of which must be a fruit or vegetable. No child is made to eat anything.
Preschool lunches
National School Lunch Program guidelines require preschool students eating a school lunch to receive a portion of every item on the tray, with unflavored milk. Again, no child is made to eat anything.
Portion sizes
Set by the National School Lunch Program rather than by our school, so we aren't able to adjust them.
Salad bar and second lunches
Available to students in fifth through eighth grade on days when the salad bar is offered. Check the monthly menu for details.
