Meals payments or ala carte purchases may be made directly to the school as checks made out to Region 7 Food Service or CASH in an envelope marked Food Service with the child's name, teacher, and POSID Lunch ID number.  Parents may also go to MYSCHOOLBUCKS to access or set up an account for your student at the following link: https://www.myschoolbucks.com

 Please complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application if you believe you qualify.

Why should I complete an application?

If you feel you qualify, it is critical that households submit a free and reduced-priced meal application as soon as possible to determine a student’s eligibility for this school year and avoid unpaid meal charges when SMART funds at the  end  2023-2024 School Year.  Also, students who qualify for Free & Reduced Meals may be eligible for other benefits throughout the school year unrelated to food service.

Free & Reduced Meal Applications can be found on the school website by clicking on the following link: 

Free and Reduced Lunch Application 

To request a paper copy of the application, please email Debra Sugerak at  dsugerak@nwr7.org.

Northwestern Regional School District 7 is in the process of updating the School Meal Charging Policy which will be shared with families once it is approved. 

Questions related to School Meals may be directed to Becky Tyrrell, Food Service Director at EdAdvance at Tyrrell@EdAdvance.org or 860-567-0863 ext. 1148.
