During the beginning phases of re-opening our schools, we will offer breakfast and lunch to our students. Until we return to unrestricted operations, our Transportation Department will distribute meal bags for the week (Wednesday - Tuesdays) to homes on Wednesdays via contactless delivery. Food will not be provided for days that school is not in session.
How do I order meals?
If you want meals, you must request service via e-mail: lunch@ltps.org and/or breakfast@ltps.org. Requests for breakfast and lunch must be made separately. Meals will only be delivered to students who have contacted us through these email addresses. You only need to email us once unless you want to make changes. Only students who are enrolled in Lawrence Township Public Schools are eligible for this program.
What information should I include in the email? What’s included in the meal?
When ordering, please include the ID number for each student that wishes to receive the meals and the school he or she attends. Also, verify your current address in the email.
Each meal will include a low-fat milk serving as well as storage and preparation instructions. The meal will comply with all Department of Agriculture regulations for child nutrition. We will offer vegetarian and non-vegetarian weekly meal bags. If you wish to receive vegetarian meals, please specify this in your email when ordering.
How do I pay for meals and what are the prices?
Students who normally pay for meals will have their accounts debited for the appropriate price for their grade level. To minimize contact, we will not accept payments at the school buildings. Account deposits must be made through the website at www.myschoolbucks.com.
This year, reduced meals will not be charged at the usual $0.40 per meal fee. Lunch prices are as follows:
Lawrence High School…………..….$3.45
Lawrence Middle School……….…..$3.35
Lawrence Intermediate and all Elementary
Schools (Grades PK-6)……………..$3.10
Breakfast all grades……………..…..$1.95
Please contact Dining Supervisor Marybeth DiLorenzo at mdilorenzo@ltps.org with any questions.
The process is easy. Parents/guardians can log into the parent portal and then go to the Forms tab. Please select the Free and Reduced Lunch Application link. After completing the application, click on the submit button. The application is then pending and available to be reviewed by the district official who determines eligibility. Once the application is reviewed, the eligibility status will be indicated in the parent portal. Please allow a day or two for the decision to be posted.
Paper applications are also available on the district website and in the main office of each school. Questions can be directed to Jill Poszluzny at 609-671-5435 or hposzluzny@ltps.org.
Lunch prices for this year are $3.35. Menus are available at https://ltps.nutrislice.com.
A new free or reduced lunch application must be filled out each year. The application can now be completed online by using the Genesis Parent Portal. Only one application per household is required.
Students who are currently on the lunch program from last school year will continue to receive free or reduced lunch until OCTOBER 20, 2020. If a new lunch application is not received by this date, the child will no longer be eligible to continue to receive free or reduced lunch as of October 21, 2020. Please keep in mind that families who fail to submit a new application before the deadline will be responsible for all lunch charges incurred until the new lunch application is received and approved. Questions? Call Jill Poszulzny, (609) 671-5435.
