School Nutrition News  

Good nutrition is critical to student achievement. A well-nourished student will generally have better attendance, be more attentive, and have more energy to take on the day’s activities. The School Nutrition Program provides tasty, nutritious, and reasonably priced breakfasts and lunches to both students and staff.

Free and reduced-price breakfasts and lunches will be available for families who meet eligibility criteria. Families can apply for free or reduced-price meals by completing the application forms distributed to parents as part of the school calendar. Additional copies are available from the elementary and junior/senior high school offices, or can be downloaded from the ‘Departments/School Nutrition/Forms and Applications’ link on the district’s homepage.

Funds can be deposited into a student’s account through the use of MySchoolBucks.com. Payments are also accepted through cash or checks at the cashier station. This site will list a 30-day history of student purchases allowing parents and guardians to track their student’s purchases. You will need your child’s student ID number to use this service. If you don’t know your child’s ID number, then give the school office a call and they can look it up for you. You can also download the app so students and parents alike can stay on top of lunch money needs. Look for the “My School Bucks” App (pictured here) in both Apple and Android app stores.
