Review the district allergy or special diet process, then confirm with the school or district nutrition office and a healthcare professional for child-specific needs.

LPS Lunch Menu – November
Special Dietary Requirements and Allergies
LPS takes the special dietary needs of its students seriously. If your child has any food allergies, intolerances, or other special nutritional needs, LPS Nutrition Services will tailor their menu upon receiving a completed “Medical Statement for Children with Special Nutritional Needs” form. You can download this form from the school’s health office. It must be filled out by a licensed health care professional.
Additionally, if your family has any religious or cultural dietary preferences, LPS is accommodating. The menu regularly features meatless and vegetarian options, as well as a range of choices in fruits, grains, and milk.
Special Diet Menus
Every month, special diet menus are prepared by the LPS Nutrition Services Dietician and are available for cafeteria staff, students, families, and health office staff. If your student requires a highly specialized diet, a dedicated team at LPS will work closely with you to provide the prescribed diet.
Prices, Payments, and How to Top Up Your LPS Lunch Account
Paying for your student’s meals is convenient with the MySchoolBucks web payment system. Through this platform, you can use various payment options, including Visa, MasterCard, and Discover credit cards, or your checking account. MySchoolBucks even offers an annual OnePay program, allowing for reduced processing fees on meal payments.
