Every student can get one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day.

● Breakfast: Available 20 minutes before school starts.

● Lunch: Available to both full-day and half-day students. Half-day students will take their lunch home with them.

● Milk: If your child wants just a milk (for lunch or a snack), it costs $0.50.  To make buying milk easier, we suggest adding money to your child’s lunch account.

● ‘A la carte’ Options: Kindergarten students are not allowed to purchase ‘a la carte options’ other than milk and water.

Adding Money to Accounts:

● Cash/Check: Send cash or a check (made out to “AB Food Services Dept”) with your child's name on the memo line to their teacher. The teacher will forward it to the cafeteria manager.

● Credit Card: Prepay online at the SchoolCafe website.

You’ll need your child’s School ID and Lunch PIN/ID, which you can find in PowerSchool Parent Portal at under “My Class Schedule.” We will also send your child’s PIN in an email later this week. Allergies: If your child has a documented allergy and you have questions about menu ingredients, please contact us at nutrition@abschools.org or (978) 264-4700 x15001.

Free/Reduced Meals:

Even though meals are free this year, applying for free/reduced priced meals might qualify you for other school discounts. Please visit our website from here for additional information. If you received an email in August saying your child qualifies, you don’t need to apply again.

Balance Alerts:

If your account balance is $5.00 or less, you’ll get a weekly email reminder. For questions, contact us at lunchonline@abschools.org or (978) 264-4700 x15001. We look forward to serving your child healthy meals this school year!

Have a great year!
