During the pandemic, schools were able to offer no cost meals to all students due to temporary program flexibilities provided by the federal government. These flexibilities have expired, and the U.S. Congress did not provide funding in this year’s budget to allow schools to serve free meals to all students in the 2022-2023 school year. Your school nutrition team looks forward to serving healthy, balanced meals to every student in the new school year.
All Income Eligible Families Should Complete These Steps:
We're helping your child grow up healthy by teaching them to build a healthy plate! With Choose my plate, we encourage your child to choose everything from the line to ensure a nutritious plate. Here are some easy tips to start a healthier life:
Make half of your plate fruit and vegetables
Make at least half your grains whole
Switch to skim or 1% milk
Vary your protein food choices
Ala Carte
Purchase of snacks, 2nd's on meal items, and beverages can be made as long as the student either has money on their account or has cash in hand. No Ala Carte items can be charged.
Payment:
Pre-payments may be placed in the cafeteria drop box each morning - Elementary before classes and Jr. High/High School before 11 AM. Payment received after 11 AM will be posted the following day. Students' name and I.D. number must be on the checks, or envelope of cash to ensure that proper credit is given. We accept checks only for the amount of meal or total amount of prepayment. Make checks payable to Navarro Food Service.
You may also pay online; you must have your student's ID# when setting up account.
Any check returned due to insufficient funds shall result in a $25 charge.
