Cafeteria Services

The elementary schools serve hot lunches and breakfast daily.  Students may either bring their own meal, pay for the meal on a daily basis, or deposit money on their accounts for use.  If students bring their lunch, they can purchase a la cart items such as milk, chips, cracker, etc...or ice cream on Fridays.  

Parents/guardians who qualify for the free lunch program must complete an application yearly. This application is sent to the DISD Child Nutrition Office for processing and they make the decision of whether or not the family meets free or reduced lunch guidelines. Lunches may not be charged nor will money be loaned.  Students who do not have lunch money or students still in the process of qualifying for the free lunch program will be given a meal and charged to their account balance. Parents/guardian should check on their student's account regularly to ensure funds are adequate for purchasing meals.  

Parents are welcomed to eat lunch with their children, but due to constraints and assigned seating they will need to eat with their child at the visitor’s table. No foods of minimal nutritional value are to be disseminated in the cafeteria. Students may not share lunches. Visitors may only bring lunches for their own children. Birthday treats need to be arranged ahead of time with the teacher and may not be served in the cafeteria during lunch time.  For students wishing to distribute birthday invitations at school, this can only be done after the instructional day. Please communicate with your child's teacher for specific information about your grade level's procedures for distributing birthday invitations to students.
