“Our mission is to provide nutritious, high quality, cost effective meals that provide students with healthy choices for developing positive life-style decision making.”
National School Lunch Week
Celebrating National School Lunch Week (NSLW) in our school cafeterias October 13 – 17. The 2025 theme “Taste the World: Your School Lunch Passport,” was chosen to inspire curiosity, cultural appreciation and adventure through food. We hope to encourage students to explore new tastes and traditions, making school meals exciting and engaging one delicious bite at a time.
National School Lunch Week is celebrated annually to promote the importance of healthy school lunches and increase participation in the program. Established by President John F. Kennedy in 1962, NSLW encourages civic engagement and awareness of the vital role that good nutrition plays in a child’s development and academic success.

Welcome Back!
The Child Nutrition team is very excited to welcome you back to our cafeterias!
Washington Township’s Child Nutrition Department operates under the USDA federally funded National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs to provide nutritious and appealing meals for students. Everyday we offer students a healthy and nutritious meal that consists of fruit, vegetables, grains, protein, and milk. While we know the most nutritious lunch option includes all of the components, we understand that sometimes a student would prefer to decline some offered items. Out of the five components offered, students must take at least three. One of the 3 must be a ½ cup of fruits and/or vegetables.
Exciting News! All Elementary and Middle Schools are participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025-2026 school year. CEP means that ALL students grade K-8 are eligible to receive healthy breakfasts and lunches daily at NO CHARGE to families if they choose to. Meals for High School students will remain the same. Please see the High School Pricing below.
- High School Breakfast Prices: $2.25 (reduced $0.30)
- High School Lunch Prices: $3.25 (reduced $0.40)
- Free Breakfast & Lunch Grades K-8
- Milk Only (Grades K-12): $0.50
**Your student must have a positive balance to purchase snacks/ala carte items/extras.
If you need assistance covering the cost of school meals at the high school, a meal benefit application will need to be completed and approved. If you were notified that your student was ‘directly certified’ prior to the start of school you do not need to complete an application for assistance.

Meal Payment Procedure
All school cafeterias use a pre-pay meal account system. A pre-paid meal account helps the lunch lines go faster and gives students more time to eat, relax and play. It also gives you the peace of mind of not having to worry about looking for money every day or worry that it might be lost, stolen or used for other things. Online payments are simple, safe and a secure way to make payments to your students account 24 hours a day at your convenience. Visit My Payment Plus website to register for a Free Account and begin making payments.
Send Check or Cash
You can always bring money personally or send it with your student. Please place the money in an envelope marked clearly with your student’s name, their ID#, $ amount and the check number. Elementary students can turn the envelope into their cafeteria or their classroom teacher. Middle School and High School students can place the completed envelope in the Meal Payment Drop boxes located in each school. Payments received before 10 am will be on the student’s account before lunch.
Refund or Fund Transfer Request
Students leaving the district or graduating seniors who have a balance on their school meal account may request a refund, transfer money to a sibling or donate to the Lunch Donation Fund by completing the Refund Request Form. Once the form is received and processed by the Child Nutrition office a check will be mailed to the name and address provided on the form. Refunds may take up to 4 weeks to process.
IMPORTANT: Please log onto My Payment Plus website and disable any automatic repayment feature you may have set up on the account. Your credit card WILL be charged if automatic repayment is NOT disabled.
If you have questions, please contact Annette Guenther, Child Nutrition Supervisor at 317-205-3332 ext. 77209.
