Food Services

Good nutrition goes hand in hand with education and is essential to cognitive and physical development. Each school has breakfast and lunch programs that offer nutritional and tasty options for students every day of the year.  Menus are subject to change due to availability of food items or special events at the school. More detailed menu information may be available on your child's school website.  If your child has unique nutritional needs or food allergies, please discuss these with the school nurse and classroom teacher.

There are several payment options available to purchase meals at school. Paying in advance ensures that your child does not have to keep up with lunch money. You can pre-pay on a daily, weekly, monthly, semester, or yearly basis. All students use a lunch card or Personal Identification Number (PIN) when going through the lunch line to monitor student accounts and participation in the meal programs.

If a student does not have lunch money, he or she may charge up to three meals. The cashier will let the student know about the charges and parents will be notified through letters and/or telephone calls to send money for charged and additional meals. If parents refuse to pay for meals, students may be provided with an alternative meal. Parents may apply for free or reduced meals at any time during the year if family circumstances change where meal costs become a hardship.

Reduced Price & Free Meals

Reduced price and free meals are available to those who qualify. Family applications are made available during registration so that parents do not have to complete an application for children who attend multiple schools.
Applications for reduced and free meals are available at the time of registration or at any time during the year. Contact the cafeteria manager at your child's school or the HCS Food Service staff at 488-6925 for more information.
