The food service program is an essential part of the complete educational program. Nutritious meals are an important part of the learning process. Therefore, we pledge to do our best to help your child get the most out of his/her day by providing a healthy breakfast and lunch every school day.

Free language assistance, auxiliary aids, and/or accommodations are available upon request.

PAY LUNCH ACCOUNT

You can also bring in cash or check to the cafeteria or call the Food Service Office at 928-472-5703 with a credit or debit card.

Please email Mary Jo Turvey-Kammerude to request a refund.

MEALS AT NO COST

We are extremely pleased to announce that Community Eligibility Provision is coming to PUSD starting in July 2024.
Community Eligibility Provision or CEP is a National School Breakfast and Lunch meal service option that allows schools in high poverty areas to offer meals at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Because of new and revised qualification guidelines, Payson Unified School District is now eligible to participate in CEP. As a result, more students and schools have the opportunity to experience CEP’s benefits, such as increasing access to school meals at no cost, eliminating unpaid meal charges, minimizing student peer-group stigma and streamlining meal service operations.

All student breakfast and lunch meals are free but please note that milk and a la carte snacks [middle and high school] may still be purchased.

Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program (Summer-EBT/SUN Bucks) supplements summer meal programs by providing grocery-buying benefits to low-income families with school-aged children who lose access to free or reduced price school meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP) when schools are closed for the summer.
