Art & Science Academy is again partnering with Trio Community Meals (formerly Lancer Dining Services) to provide students with nutritious, catered breakfasts and lunches. Lunch consists of a daily special with vegetable, fruit, and grain sides. One milk choice is included with each meal at no extra cost. You can visit www.triocommunitymeals.com for more information regarding Trio Community Meals.
All students are eligible for one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day. Each meal includes choice of one milk (1% white, or chocolate skim). Applications for Educational Benefits (free/reduced meals) are available at Art & Science Academy, on our website, or here. Ala-carte pricing* will apply when a student refuses to take the full reimbursable meal.
As in the past, school meals are ordered a month in advance. This year online ordering will be available from the 16th through the 20th of each month, starting in August for September meals. All ordering must be completed online through myschoolaccount.com. Information on setting up a meal ordering account is attached or available here. You may visit Art and Science Academy in person to set up an account and/or place an order online if needed. Please place your meal order online so that we have enough meals on hand each day.
**New ASA students’ parents/guardians will receive an email when meal accounts are ready to be set up.
If your child wishes to have an additional milk with their meal, extra milks are 55 cents each and must be paid for with cash on day of purchase or ordered in advance through your child’s www.myschoolaccount.com account. All students will have access to drinking water during breakfast and lunch periods.
ASA’s unpaid meal charges policy can be found on the policy section of our website under section 500 Students.
ASA, in collaboration with Trio Community Meals, will make reasonable substitutions to meals on a case-by-case basis for children who are considered to have a disability that restricts their diet. To make such a request, a parent or guardian must submit a Special Diet Statement that is completed by a licensed physician, physician assistant, or an advanced practice registered nurse, such as a certified nurse practitioner. Updates to this form are only required when a child’s needs change. Visit here or Art & Science Academy for a Special Diet Statement form.
*Ala-carte pricing: main course $2.60, sides (fruit, vegetable, grain) $0.75 each, milk $0.55.
