Meal Program

A hot lunch program is provided in the elementary and middle schools by Arbor Management, Inc. The meals for the elementary schools are prepared at Jackson Middle School and are transported to each building.  We are very excited to offer many delicious healthy additions to our Breakfast and Lunch Program this year. Studies have shown that children who eat healthy, balanced breakfasts and lunches are more alert throughout the school day and also earn higher grades than those who have an unhealthy diet.  Please see the monthly menus for all of the details on our healthy choices, and see the letter linked below for more information on new foods that will be served.

Meal Prices:

Lunch: $2.40; (includes milk)

Breakfast: $1.20; (includes milk)

Milk: $0.55 for skim or fat free chocolate

Because we are an "offer vs. serve" District, we are able to offer a fruit/veggie bar. Check out our additional food items on our fruit/veggie bars at the elementary buildings and our salad bar at the middle schools.
