  • How do I monitor my student's account balance or purchases?

    Posted by:

    After creating an account on School Cafe, you may add funds or review transactions.  Meals should always be prepaid, but in the event a student has a negative balance or has forgotten lunch money, we will allow a student to charge a meal so that they will be fed and prepared to learn that day.

  • How healthy are school meals?

    Posted by:

    Very healthy!  Research shows that students who eat school lunch eat less fat than students who bring their lunch from home. Students who eat school lunch eat more fruits, vegetables and drink more milk. They are less likely to drink soda and fruit drinks. 

    As a part of the National School Lunch Program, LPS is required to serve whole grains, low fats, colorful fruits and vegetables with many healthy and flavorful options.

  • Can I restrict what my student is allowed purchase?

    Posted by:

    Yes, you can place an alacarte restriction on a students account if you wish.  Many choices are available such as a dollar value limit or even the day of the week they are allowed to purchase alacarte.  Create or log in to your School Cafe account to view your options.

  • What are reimbursable meals?

    Posted by:

    USDA reimburses schools for meals that meet specific meal patterns and nutrition guidelines. USDA nutrition guidelines are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. School systems have different options for developing menus with reimbursable meals. Each meal will be some combination of a meat/meat alternate, bread/grain, fruit/vegetable and milk. For example, lunch could include spaghetti with meat sauce, canned peaches, salad and milk. Breakfast could include cereal, toast and milk.
