Our district remains committed to ensuring that every student has access to nutritious meals, regardless of their account balance. Students with negative balances receive the same lunches as their peers—no alternate meals are provided. However, unpaid meal balances have a significant financial impact on our program, and we need your support to keep providing meals to all students. If you have an outstanding balance, please pay this balance as soon as possible. If you would like to donate to help cover negative balances, you can donate online here.
