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.
