Los Angeles Unified School District School Lunch Menu
Official sources reviewed:
Los Angeles Unified School District publishes Café LA menus through YumYummi. Search for your child’s school to find its breakfast and lunch menus. The district resources below also explain free student meals, special-diet requests, and the Household Income Form.
How to find your school's menu
Breakfast and lunch at no charge
LAUSD Food Services states that students receive free breakfast and lunch under California's Universal Meals Policy. Its site also describes supper at participating schools after the instructional day. Ask the school which services it offers; the district says supper must be eaten on campus.
Arranging special meals with the cafeteria
For a first special-diet request, the parent or guardian completes Section A of LAUSD's Medical Statement to Request Special Meals, and a healthcare professional completes Section C. Return the completed form to the school's Food Service Manager, who coordinates the request. The memo says families provide meals until the manager sends the dietary guidelines confirming implementation. A separate parent-signed request is used for soy milk.

Household Income Form support
LAUSD's Household Income Form program helps secure school funding for services such as classroom aides and after-school care. Its parent resources explain online submission through hif.lausd.net and paper submission through your child's school. For help with the form, the district directs parents and students to their school's main office.
