Meal Plan information and Registration

This offering is available for students from K-12

How it works:

The pre-paid Meal Plan program consists of a fixed daily meal with a set price that must be paid ahead each semester.

Elementary students will have a healthy choice of a minimum of two proteins, two side dishes, fruit, and a drink. They will also get their lunch immediately after retrieving and turning in their meal plan cards. This process makes it easy and fast for children to get their food.

Middle and High School students can choose from several options such as sandwich bar, salad bar, or the meal of the day, which also include house made juice. Chips and specialty items are sold separately.

From August to December 2021, we will not have a breakfast/recess meal plan. We encourage students to get the School Card Debit for any extra items not covered by the meal plan.
