School Menus Online

Our school menus can always be found online. Bookmark the page!

Dietary Options Available

There are many vegetarian options available on the new school menu by asking the server to withhold the meat. If you see *add meat/chicken" on the menu item, then it can be skipped for your meal.

We have also developed some suggestions on how to look for items made without gluten on the menu. Click here for the list. Students can ask lunch line servers to withhold the bun, bread or pasta on any item served.

How to Pay for School Lunch

Families can pay for school meals or add money into food accounts with cash or check at their school, or by adding money via online payments. Online payments: Another easy way to add money to a food account is by making payments through the online system called MyPaymentsPlus. If a food account balance is low, it will only take a few minutes to add money using a credit/debit card or a checking account at any time of the day from anywhere. Payments will post within one-hour to the student's food account. Families will be charged a fee of $1.95 per transaction for making an online payment. First time registering? Visit our Food Services Online Payments webpage for step-by-step instructions. Important step: Before logging in, you will need to know your student's Other ID number (a 10-digit number) which can be found in Skyward Family Access. Food balance notifications: Throughout the school year, we regularly notify families about low or negative balances in student food services accounts. You can manage your notification preferences in Skylert in Family Access. Thank you for keeping on top of your balance. Please take a moment to sign up for free and reduced price meals if you qualify. (See information above.)
