We are excited to serve delicious and nutritious meals during the 2025-2026 school year. Breakfast is available at no charge to all students. A Complete Lunch Meal costs $3.35 for all schools. Premium meals are available at the Middle School & High School for $4.10; these meals are more labor-intensive to prepare. If students do not take a complete meal, as detailed below, they will be charged a la carte pricing.

A la carte pricing includes: $1.75 breakfast entree, $3.45 lunch entree, and $4.20 premium lunch entree.

Your child(ren) may be able to receive free or reduced-priced meals. Apply at www.schoolcafe.com to see if you qualify. Please visit the "Free & Reduced Price Meals" tab on the right side of this page.

Please encourage your child to take at least one fruit or vegetable with three whole food groups.

The meals provided will continue to follow all of the nutritional guidelines, including all five food groups (milk, fruit, vegetable, meat/meat alternative, and grain).

At all schools, there is a hot meal lunch choice plus the "Daily Alternative" meals. In addition to the advertised lunch, there is a variety of a la carte items from which to choose for purchase. Please visit the "Menus" tab on the right side of this page.
