McLean County Unit 5 Food Service

Welcome to the School Lunch section of Unit 5's web. Here you will find the current monthly menus for each grade level, special menus, holiday menus (when appropriate), free and reduced lunch programs, and links to nutrition information.

School Lunch Program

School lunch provides a nutritionally balanced meal so students are ready to learn. Meals for Unit 5 schools are planned with the goal of providing students with one-third of their Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for key nutrients and calories. By offering students a variety of foods, school lunch promotes good nutrition habits.

• Prices
  Elementary meals are $1.60 each for students and $2.10 for adults.
  Junior and Senior high school meals are $1.65 for students and $2.15 for adults.
  
• Free and Reduced Meals
  Students may qualify for free or reduced meals. Eligibility is based on the gross income of all household members. Applications for free and reduced meals are available in all school offices. Reduced price lunches are $0.40.

Parents

We are excited to announce that parents can now add money to their school meal account online through the Skyward Family Access parent portal they currently use.

Parents can now add money to their student’s lunch account while sitting at their computer from home or work at any time of the day. If the account balance is low, it only takes a few minutes to add money to the meal account using your debit or credit card. There is a $1.00 convenience fee added when using this service.

Once the parent has determined how much they want to deposit into their meal account in Skyward Family Access, the payment is then processed by the company RevTrak. When the transaction is approved, the money will appear in the food service account in Family Access a few seconds later.

If you are a Chiddix Jr. High parent and created an account in May, you will be a returning customer.

The following link provides a demonstration for using Family Access and RevTrak:

We hope you use this new, convenient service!
