Breakfast & Lunch Programs

Pioneer Union Elementary School District offers a Breakfast program and a Hot Lunch program at all three of its campuses. Both breakfast and lunch are available for all students which includes a choice of milk. Breakfast is served every morning starting at 7:30 a.m. A different entree item is offered each day, along with fruit, 100% fruit juice, and a choice of milk. You will find breakfast listed above each day’s lunch menu on both the monthly menu and weekly bulletin.

The Food Service Department uses an “Offer versus Serve” system for all students. This means that students may choose from any of the items available during breakfast or lunch, taking the items they wish. At the minimum, students must take three of the four meal components offered for breakfast and three of the five meal components offered for lunch. One of the choices MUST be a 1⁄2 cup of fruit and or 1⁄2 cup of vegetables. Milk is available for cold lunch students and one additional milk may be purchased at lunch only for $0.50.

Meal Accounts

Each student is issued a cafeteria code number upon enrolling into the district. The student is required to enter their code when they wish to receive a breakfast or lunch meal. During lunch only, cold lunch milk and one additional milk can be deducted from the students account if they have funds available. Payments can be made online through MyPaymentsPlus, dropped off in the payment drop box located in the school office, or turned into the student’s teacher first thing
in the morning to expedite the lunch line.

Current prices are as follows:

• Milk Price – $0.50
• Adult – $6.00

Remaining Meal Account Funds

Any balance remaining on an exiting free or reduced-priced student’s account will be automatically refunded.

Parents/Guardians of a full pay student may request a refund, to transfer funds to a sibling, or donate remaining balance any time during the year.

Cafeteria Clerks will attempt to contact a parent/guardian of all exiting or graduating paid students with a balance $20.00 or less to see if they would like a refund, to transfer funds to a sibling, or donate funds to the cafeteria. The Cafeteria Clerks will note on the Withdrawal Slip which option has been made. The cafeteria clerk will attempt to contact the parent/guardian twice and record the date, time, and name of the person contacted. Should the parent not respond within five business days of the last phone call, the balance shall be transferred to the cafeteria fund as a donation.
