Computerized Meal Program Overview: The computerized program is a prepaid system, which means money needs to be deposited first and then it is deducted as purchases are made on the account, much like the process of a debit card. All accounts are expected to have positive balances in them.
Students who eat lunch on a daily basis will need an average of $44.00 per month in their account. Students that purchase a la carte items regularly at the secondary schools may need additional funds in the account. Students who bring a lunch from home will also utilize the account for milk purchases. Students who qualify for free/reduced* meals, but purchase milk only OR purchase additional milks with the meal, will need to have money deposited into their accounts and will be charged $.35 per milk.
School Closures: Menu subject to change due to availability of food and emergency school closings. In case of a school closure, the original menu planned for the day missed is run the day after the school closure.
*Free & Reduced Meals: Applications for free or reduced price school lunches are available through the school office. If you have any questions regarding Free or Reduced priced meals, please call the Food & Nutrition office at: 1-262-781-3030 Ext. 1175 or 1148. Applications may be submitted anytime throughout the year, however we ask you to submit forms in a timely manner as the eligibility status is based on when the application is approved. You will be notified by the school of your students’ eligibility, whether it is approved or denied.
Payment Procedure: Offer Vs. Serve:
You may submit payment in the following manner: 1)
Send the payment with your child to school. Checks are encouraged as they provide a traceable means for accounting. The classroom teacher will collect the payment on a regular basis and the school will deposit the money.

Grade 1-12 are offered all five components: grain/bread, meat/meat alternate, fruit, vegetable, and ½ pint milk. Students need to take (or be served) three of the five components. A fruit or vegetable MUST be one of the three mandatory components. This greatly reduces food waste and allows the child/children an opportunity to make choices. The lunch is priced as a unit and no substitutions are available if items are refused. Items will be charged separately, as a la carte, if all three components are not taken.
