Nutrition Services

All families who wish to apply for reduced or free meals with the Enumclaw School District are encouraged to fill out an application at anytime during the school year. A new application must be completed at the beginning of each school year. Applications are available at all school locations, on the Nutrition Service web site and to the left in English and Spanish.. The letter explaining how the program works is also available to the left in English and Spanish. Once an application is completed properly it will not be necessary to complete a new application during the school year.

For the start of the 2020 -2021 school year, we will offer FREE breakfast and lunch served together in a single bag.  Read graphic / pdf above.

Usually, all meals, Breakfast and Lunch, will include choice of entree, fresh fruits and vegetables, all-star salad bar at lunch, and milk choice of non-fat chocolate or 1% non-flavor milk.

  If you wish to set up an account so you can prepay meals for your student online, you can do so by setting up an account in Family Access. Please contact your school’s office secretary on direction for Family Access.

Payment information is synchronized with school kitchen computers twice a day (at about 8 a.m. and 3 p.m.). You will be able to see changes made on your student’s accounts after information has been synchronized. Once your account is established you will be able to prepay meals, make payments on student balances, set limits on ala cart buying and view account activity (including purchase, payment, and balance information). All this can be done from a secure internet connection using your password and your student's ID number.

Student balances follow the student from school-to-school within the district and remain on the student account from one year to the next. You are welcome, and encouraged, to prepay your child's meals. To help assure that each child eats lunch, we may allow a child to "charge" up to two meals (the parent/guardian is responsible to pay for any meals served to their student), but students who have a negative balance* in their meal account will not be permitted to charge meals until their account is current. (A complimentary lunch of a sandwich and milk is available to students who do not have money in their account.)

• To prepay into your child's account, you may give payments (cash, money order, or check) directly to a member of the kitchen staff, or you may set up an online payment account to manage deposits using a debit or credit card (information below).
• Make checks/money orders payable to the Enumclaw School District.
• Please include the student's name, and teacher's homeroom on the check or the envelope if it contains a cash.

Refunds on students meal account will be issued by filling out a form and returning it to Nutrition Service office to be procced and sent to Accounts Payable. Refunds can take up to three weeks to be proceeding.

All negative balances will need to be paid before students leave the district. Any negative balance will be placed on the “Fine” list when a student is no longer in the district.
