*Child Nutrition Programs receive federal and state financial assistance for student meals only. Reimbursement is not received for adult meals; therefore, adult meal prices are required to cover the entire expense of a meal. Adults may purchase a meal containing all five components for $5.25 or purchase items individually at the a la carte rate per item.
These guest prices go into effect on Monday September 21, 2026.
We are pleased to inform you that Perry Township Schools will continue to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for meals served under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program for the next four years.
Through the CEP, all students enrolled in Perry Township Schools will receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge each day during the 2026-27, 2027-28, 2028-29 and 2029-30 school years.
Please note that a la carte food purchases and additional meals are not included in CEP and will incur a charge. When a student’s account has a negative balance, a la carte purchases will not be permitted.
