St. John’s Lutheran School participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) meal program. All enrolled students of St. John’s Lutheran School are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the school year. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application.
When your child participates in our healthy and delicious school meals program it will save your family time and money. At lunch, children are offered five food components (grain, protein, fruit, vegetable, and fluid milk). For your child’s meal to be free, they must take at least three different food components, one of which is ½ cup fruit or vegetable. Click here to view the current menus
A-la-carte milk does not meet the requirements described above and will be charged $0.35 per carton. St. John’s uses a pre-paid food account from which each day’s purchase is deducted. Please make sure your student has money on deposit in their account before they take a milk to go with a meal from home. Your student(s)’ account balance is available in the FACTS Family Portal. You may also use the portal to make deposits. Contact the office if you have questions or technical difficulties.

Completing the Alternate Income form provides information used to determine if your family qualifies for P-EBT benefits, Title Services, field trip discounts and other school funding.
