Prices, Payments and Policies
The goal of the Lourdes Academy Food Service Program is to provide a healthy lunch to children during the school day. In order to serve healthy, high-quality meal, we must make sure the food service department is financially secure. Parents/guardians play a key role in this effort and are responsible for purchases made by their child in the school cafeteria.
The school lunch program is a pre-paid debit system. It is not a credit system and requires all family accounts carry a positive balance for holt lunch meals and ala carte purchases. Students receive a lunch id number that they are able to use throughout their years spent at Lourdes Academy.
Payments
Lunch account payments need to be mailed to or dropped off in your child's school office. Please allow up to two business days for payments to be posted. Payments can be made by cash or check.
It is the parent's responsibility to monitor their child's lunch account balance. Instructions for how to view balances in the PowerSchool portal are available here.
Please note: Seniors with a negative lunch balance will receive their diploma but will not be allowed to participate in the graduation ceremony.
- Payment by check
The student's name and/or lunch account number must be written on the check in the memo field. Checks should be made payable to Lourdes Academy. - Payment by cash
Place cash in an envelope marked with the student's name and/or lunch account number. - Split payments
If submitting payment for more than one child, please note their names and the specific amounts to be applied to each student's account either on the outside of an envelope or on an attached note. - Transferring money within family accounts
Parents may wish to transfer money from one child's lunch account to another child's account. Please contact the school office to initiate a transfer. Only the parent can authorize this transfer. Students and administration cannot. - Balance at or below $10.00

At this point, students in grades 5-12 are allowed basic hot lunch only, consisting of entree, vegetable/fruit and milk at the daily hot lunch rate of $3.05.
