School Lunch Choice

Program Overview

Odyssey Charter Schools partners with Aveson's Food Service Healthy Living program to provide healthy meals to our students. We serve fresh, seasonal, local produce (some grown in Aveson's garden)!

Breakfast consists of a main meal option served with fresh fruit/juice, and milk. For lunch we offer a healthy, nutritious entree along with fresh vegetables, fruit, and milk.

Ordering Breakfast/Lunch

All orders are placed through School Lunch Choice. Every family must set up an account for each of their students on one family account. Please read the memo for additional information.

All lunches must be ordered online by 12:00 pm one week in advance of the date of the meal requested to ensure our staff is prepared.

We ask that meal cancelations be sent to Melissa by 7am at melissah@ocsmail.org to eliminate food waste.
