School Meal Program

School Breakfast Program

 

The District breakfast program will be provided on a daily basis.  The breakfast program is a federally assisted meal program, just as the National School Lunch Program, created to offer healthy, balanced meals to all students.  Participating school districts will receive federal reimbursement and commodity food items from the USDA for every qualifying meal served.  Eligible families may qualify for free or reduced meal rates.

 

Breakfast is a great opportunity to refuel and start the day.  At the Intermediate and Primary schools, breakfast will be available upon arrival and will be consumed in the classroom.  Breakfast will be available to the Middle school students prior to the start of the school day.  Those students at the Middle school (WMS) opting to purchase breakfast will eat in the cafeteria.  At this time, breakfast is limited to those items obtained through the School breakfast program.  

 

School Lunch Program

 

The District lunch program will be provided on a daily basis. Students may also bring a lunch from home, and they have the option to purchase white or chocolate milk. The prices for lunch and cartons of milk are determined annually. Families qualifying for free or reduced lunch may pick up the application form in the school offices. Free or reduced lunches are provided under the National School Lunch Program. 

 
If a student forgets to bring a lunch, the school will provide a lunch and the parent/guardian will be charged the price of the meal. Students will receive a full meal for up to two days when there is a zero or negative balance. 
 
District 92½'s food service program ensures that meals meet USDA requirements and all nutritional guidelines. Meals include fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, and ample protein that promotes healthy eating. Serving sizes are appropriate to the dietary needs of the age served, helping students with healthy choices. Food service rules shall restrict the sale of foods of minimal nutritional value as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the food service areas during the meal periods.

For parents who wish to purchase breakfast or lunch using a credit card, we are continuing to use MealTime as our online payment system.


The MealTime Online system allows you to add money to your child's account for breakfast, lunch, or individual milk purchases. Milk is included in the purchase price of both breakfast and lunch. The cost of an individual carton of milk is $0.40 and is intended only for students who wish to purchase milk separately. MealTime requires a minimum online deposit of $25.00 per family. All online payments are subject to a 2.5% service fee, which will be added to the total at the time of payment.

 

 

You will need your child's student ID number to register. The student ID can be found in the Parent Portal, or you may contact the school office. A MealTime account is a convenient way to pay by credit card, monitor your child's account balance, and receive notifications when the balance is low.

 

 

If you prefer not to pay by credit card, you may send cash or a check to school in an envelope labeled with your child's name and homeroom (or first-period teacher's) name. If the exact amount of $2.50 for breakfast or $5.00 for lunch is not sent, any remaining balance will be credited to your child's MealTime account for future breakfast, lunch, or individual milk purchases. The Head Cafeteria Supervisor will apply the remaining funds to your child's account.
