Breakfast is served at all school sites Monday through Friday before school from 7:20-7:50 a.m.
During lunch, milk may be purchased as an “A la Carte” item. A variety of other “A la Carte” items are also available for purchase at Woodrow Wilson and Kennedy JR. High Schools. If your student would like to purchase “A la Carte” items we request that you pre-pay, as no charging will be allowed. For a free account parents are encouraged to visit  www.MyPaymentsPlus.com.

For non-online account deposits, envelopes are available in the school site office. Pre-paid envelopes should be returned to the school site office and will be forwarded to the Food Service Account Clerk for posting. Please verify that your student’s name, ID and amount included are on the envelope. If you have questions or need student account information, please contact the Food Service District Kitchen at 585-3666

Dietary Needs: If your child has a food allergy that may result in a severe, life threatening reaction, you must obtain a Dietary Needs Authorization Form from your school and take the document to your child’s physician, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner.  

This authorization must be reviewed annually or when there is a change.  No accommodations or food substitutions shall be made until all information is received and a meeting is held.  Students who may have special medications or dietary needs due to certain food intolerances may be accommodated at HESD’s discretion.
