SJS Hot Lunch Program (K-8)

SJS will begin the school year with the daily hot lunch program being available to Kindergarten – Grade 8 students at no cost to your family.  The town of Manchester has a limited amount of funding left for the free lunch program, which they anticipate will run out around December 1, 2022.  We will notify families in advance of this occurrence so that you may fund your child’s hot lunch account for future purchases.

Families meeting certain income guidelines may complete an application HERE to determine if they qualify for free meals once the funding runs out.

Milk-only purchases will continue to cost $0.40 and are NOT covered by the free lunch program.  If your child will be bringing lunch from home and purchasing “just milk,” please fund their EZSchoolPay account or send in cash/check (in a well-labeled envelope).  Checks can be made out to “Manchester Hot Lunch Program” and sent to school with your student.

Lunch Account ID information (and information on setting up an EZSchoolPay account to track balances) will be sent to parents in the days ahead.

This year, Kindergarten and 1st Grade students will eat in their classrooms (hot lunch will be brought directly to the classrooms for students that order it); 2nd – 8th Grade classes will eat in the cafeteria over the course of 4 lunch waves.

The SJS Hot Lunch Calendar is emailed out to families at the start of each month and posted on the homepage of our website plus in the SJS App for future reference

Please note that the hot lunch prices listed on menu for grades K-8 will take effect after grant funding runs out.
