Meal Program / Prices
Meal Program
According to new Federal USDA regulations, we are no longer allowed to collect any monies at the food service counters.
Therefore, we will be utilizing a meal prepayment system that works like a debit card. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that students prepay for meals. Cash will NOT be accepted in the lunch line.
