Norton Science & Language Academy participates in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch program.
Our school meals are vended from an outside company and you may rest assured that they follow all the USDA guidelines required of our food services department.
Breakfast & Lunch meals will be offered to ALL students at NO COST to our families. During this time where many are impacted by COVID we want to ensure that all students have the ability to get meals provided and are accessible to all.
Menus are posted each month below and in the school so your child can see when they want to eat in the school cafeteria.
Free/Reduced Meals
In an effort to capture all available funding for our school, we encourage all of our families to submit the Application for Free-Reduced Meals online using Infinite Campus Parent Portal or you may download/fill out the Alternative income form below and email back to vcalderon@lcer.org or bring the form in to the front office.
Please complete one application per household.
Factors considered in the application process are household size and total household income. HOUSEHOLD SIZE is considered all persons, related or unrelated: Including parents, children, grandparents who live in your home and share living expenses. The TOTAL HOUSEHOLD INCOME is the income each household member received last month before taxes - this includes wages, social security, pension, unemployment, welfare, child support, alimony, and any other cash income.
