OCTOBER LUNCH ORDERS DUE SEPT 19 - TOMORROW
October's hot lunch orders are open and need to be placed by September 19. Log into the FACTS Family Portal, click on Student, then Lunch, then +Create Web Order to submit your order (yes, even free lunch needs to be placed). If you need to apply for a free/reduced lunch, complete this application through Lakeview (our lunch vendor). If you want to help serve lunch, sign up for a slot on our Sign Up Genius!
“FREE” LUNCH UPDATE
We will not be getting free lunch for all students this year due to some complications that will arise with a projected shortage of funds in this program. Since serving breakfast was tied to getting free lunch for all, we are going to cease serving breakfast as of October 1 but hot lunch will continue on as we have in the past. Nothing will change for the lunch program other than a reminder that parents need to have a free/reduced lunch application on file for their children to qualify for a discounted lunch.
Lunch costs for 2026-2027 are:
• $3.40/regular cost
• $0.40/reduced
• $0.00/free
I will be charging for August and September meals that were ordered (if your child wasn't free already through the application program) at the end of September. Please contact Michelle Wilson if you have questions or concerns.
