Cafeteria News NEW!
Cafeteria Information:
We strongly encourage parents/guardians to monitor their child’s meal account balance through Skyward. Maintaining a positive balance prevents your child from receiving an alternative meal.
Checks or cash can be sent to school with your child in a sealed envelope including their first and last name, room and lunch number.
Credit or debit payments can be made through Skyward E-funds by going to www.perryschools.org, locate “Parent Quick Jump” and click on the Lunch/Fee Payments link. This takes you directly to E-funds. Also note, you can set up automatic payments to your child’s account when funds reach a specified low balance.
If you believe your child may qualify for free or reduced price meals, you can fill out a free and reduced application at www.perryschools.org. Select the Skyward link, top right of the screen and login to your Family Access Account. You may also request a paper application.
We love to see our parents/guardians and grandparents having lunch with their children/grandchildren! Please note that if you are planning on having a school lunch with your child, we only accept cash or checks at our register. Adult lunches CANNOT be purchased from student funds. Mary Bryan DOES NOT ALLOW restaurant food to brought in when having lunch with your children. Thank you for your cooperation.
Please call Lisa Wright, Food Services Manager, at 317-789-2645 if you have any questions. Thank you.
