Breakfast and lunch are free for students who are enrolled in the Free and Reduced Meals program. For all other students, breakfast is $2.00 and lunch is $2.80 per meal.
Meal payments may be made via credit card using the LINQ Connect portal. On-site payments and prepayments may be made using cash or check.
