LCCS Families
Lunch
Lunch is an integral part of a student's day. We offer reasonably-priced, nutritious meals — with a variety of fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains — so students stay well fueled throughout the school day.
How Lunch Works
Hot Lunch & Soup/Salad Bar
Hot lunch and soup/salad bar is available for students in kindergarten–grade 12 to purchase. Students in preschool and prekindergarten must bring a packed lunch from home.
- Students are not allowed to order food from off-campus or leave campus for lunch (except on special occasions with permission).
- Microwaves are available to students in grades 3 through 12.
- Preschool through 3rd grade students should pack lunches that do not need to be heated.

Students can enjoy a free lunch during their birthday month! (August birthdays in August or September, June birthdays in May or June, July birthdays in January.) Just tell the lunch attendant at checkout. Free birthday lunch covers the entree/meal only — drinks, sides, and ice cream are not included.
Paying for Lunch
FACTS Prepay Accounts
Student lunches are paid for using FACTS Prepay accounts. No cash is exchanged, and LCCS will not issue any IOUs. Please keep money in your prepay account to purchase lunch — if a child does not have lunch, a lunch will be provided and your account will be charged.
Parents may load the account with as much or as little money as they choose on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Tip: Keeping the FACTS lunch prepay account stocked with funds above $5, or exactly at $0, will prevent daily email notices about a low balance. To load money: log into Family Portal > click “Financial” > click “Add Funds” under Prepay Accounts.
Ordering Lunch
When to Order
- Students must order lunch during homeroom.
- If a student arrives tardy to school (after 8 am), they must inform the receptionist if they plan to purchase lunch.
- If a student arrives tardy to school after 9 am, they must pack a lunch.
Volunteers
We Can't Do It Without You
Our desire is to prepare meals in house and serve well-balanced meals that allow students to make healthy choices — and we can only do that with the help of parent volunteers! Volunteers are needed to help prep, set up, serve, and clean up lunch. As a thank you, you and your children will receive free lunch on the day you volunteer. We'd appreciate it if you could serve at least one day a month.
