Welcome to LCMCS Nutrition Services. School lunch is provided daily Monday-Thursday.  The National Nutrition Services Program will NOT offer free lunch to all students this year as they did for the previous 2021-22 school year. Therefore, we ask that all families please set up an account with MealTime, our school nutrition platform, and complete an application for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) for the 2022-23 school year.   Even if you do not plan on utilizing the lunch program or feel you would not qualify, it is vitally important for our school to have this data available on ALL students in order to apply for any additional state or federal funding that is available to public charter schools.

Meal Prices (2022-2023)

School Lunch for the 2022-2023 School Year is available for $3.50. There is no cost for those qualifying for free/reduced lunch (NSLP). For those of you who had a remaining balance on SchoolCafe, we have added these funds to your school account. Please contact tpuri@lcmcs.org for additional questions

National School Lunch Program (NSLP) eligibility is not required to participate in the school lunch program. However, we kindly request that ALL families complete the application. Even if you feel that you would not be eligible or qualify, having this demographic data allows us to apply for additional state and federal funding. Completion of the application is also required in order to receive a discount on any school-based fees or expenses

Things to know about LCMCS Nutrition Program:

  • LCMCS strives to provide wholesome, nutritional meals to our students.  When available, ingredients are sourced from local farmers.
  • Lunch will offer five food components (grain, protein, fruit, vegetable, and fluid milk).
  • For those qualifying for free/reduced lunch, students must take at least three different food components, one of which is ½ cup fruit or vegetable.
  • If a student would like a school lunch, they will need to let the classroom Guide know that day during the lunch count. There is no need to pre order lunches.
  • Many times our school lunches can be easily modified to accommodate vegetarian options.  However, we will no longer be able to accommodate dietary/lifestyle preferences for those who do not have a medical diagnosis.  A student who requires this accommodation will need documentation from their medical provider in order to create a 504 plan for educational support.  Please email Liana Oram (loram@lcmcs.org) for assistance with this process.

We try our best to make modifications within the daily menu for lifestyle choices which include vegetarian and gluten free but are unable to guarantee this. It will be indicated on the lunch menu which meals have these alternatives.  

However, those students who have medically diagnosed food allergy or intolerance which will need to be accommodated by our nutrition services team, documentation from their medical provider is required in order to create a 504 plan for educational support.     

All paperwork will need to be submitted to Liana Oram (loram@lcmcs.org) so that she can initiate the process with GBSD Student Support Services.  Please make sure to also indicate this information when completing your child’s registration.  You may view or update the information provided for your student through the parent portal.
