Student Meals in CCISD
Good nutrition plays a crucial role in the development and growth of your child during adolescence. Students who participate in school meal programs consume more whole grains, milk, fruit, and vegetables during meals.
Our Child Nutrition Dietician creates nutritionally sound menus that meet the needs of students while maintaining compliance with all state and federal guidelines as they relate to the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.
While lunch can always be brought from home, there are a variety of food options available for students in the school cafeterias. Breakfast and lunch meals are offered daily and students may receive special pricing by building a complete meal. Students may qualify for additional meal benefits through the Free and Reduced Meal Program. A la carte items (snacks) are also available for students to purchase.
Scheduled meals times are determined by campus and grade level. For specific meal times for your student, please contact your campus administrator.
Each cafeteria serving line has a digital menu board that displays the daily menu. Students use the digital menu as a tool to aid them in building a complete meal as well as knowing what is available on the a la carte menu.
Online menus and payment options are available through SchoolCafè. The Free and Reduced Meal Program (breakfast and lunch) is available for qualifying families within the District.
SchoolCafè Overview & Instructions
CCISD leverages SchoolCafè as an online menu and payment management system for all student meals. This robust platform allows families to add funds to a student account, check account history, set a la carte purchasing restrictions, view and print school menus, review nutrition and allergen information, as well as apply for meal benefits. It is also the payment method for student meals in our school cafeterias.
The following sections outline how to navigate the basics of the system.
Free & Reduced Meal Program
The Free and Reduced Meal Program provides an opportunity for eligible families with enrolled students at CCISD to receive meals at a discounted price or at no cost based on program requirements. The cost of a meal is determined by the student’s eligibility – Free, Reduced or Paid.
Please note, for the last two years students in grades PK-8 were allowed to eat free of charge regardless of their meal benefits status due to a special federal program. Starting with the 2022-20233 school year, students that do not qualify for meal benefits will be required to pay for meals.
