Catering, Facility Use, and Staff Resources

Staff meal payments

Staff are expected to keep meal balances positive at all times. Nutrition Services cashiers will not allow staff to receive a meal if their balance is at or below $0. Please make pre-payments to keep your account in good standing either online through our online payment system, or through the Nutrition Services cashier. Your lunch balance may be checked on Skyward or through the Nutrition Services Cashier. We appreciate your attentiveness to keep accounts positive.

Classroom/field trip sack lunch orders

Sack lunch order requests should be made at least 10 days prior to the date needing lunches. Current supply issues make it difficult to receive products in a timely manner. If you do not complete your sack lunch request within the required time frame, it can not be guaranteed we will have the items to prepare the sack lunches.
