Meal information, prices and payments
Meal prices
Starting in the 2023-24 school year, all Battle Ground students in kindergarten through fourth grade will have access to free breakfast and lunch at school. Students in grades five through 12 who qualify for free/reduced-price meals will receive meals at no cost.
Regardless of this change, it is important that all families, regardless of income, apply for free and reduced-price meals. Completion of this form helps inform state funding to provide the meal benefit to all K-4 families and perhaps expand access in coming years. Along with a completed consent to share form, families who qualify may also receive free or reduced fees for other extracurricular activities, including field trips, sports and more.
Middle and high school students at our comprehensive, neighborhood schools also have the option to purchase an extra entrée or extra milk/juice (a la carte) during meal service. Students must pay for these a la carte options at the time of purchase, and can use cash, check or pre-pay online (see below for e~Funds for Schools). Change will be applied to the student’s lunch account. Click the Payment Options tab for more information.
