The cafeterias serve nutritious, hot meals at breakfast and lunch. Foods and beverages sold follow all state and federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines.

School meals offer students milk, fruits and vegetables, proteins, and grains, and they must meet additional standards requiring:

• Age-appropriate calorie limits 

• Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (students must take at least one serving of produce)  

• A wider variety of vegetables, including dark green and red/orange vegetables and legumes   

• Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk must be fat-free)  

• More whole grains

• Less sodium

Payment options include paying at the school level and using our user-friendly online service, "Meal Magic Family Portal."    This service not only allows you to pay electronically but also allows you to track student purchase history. You can use the service to track purchase history even if you choose not to submit payment online. NOTE: Only cafeteria payments may be made from this site. Clinton City Schools does not subscribe to the other online payment features.

Listed below are the 2024-25 breakfast and lunch prices approved by the School Board.

We encourage ALL families to fill out the federal free and reduced lunch form to determine if you qualify for a free or reduced lunch price. Staff members are available during school hours to assist you in completing applications.  The Free and Reduced Price Meal applications are available during student registration, however, you may apply or reapply for free and reduced-price meals anytime during the school year.

We encourage you to reapply if you were previously denied and your financial or household information has changed!  Stop by the Central Office at 212 N. Hicks Street. It only takes a few minutes to fill out an application.  If you don't have time to stop by, you can request a new application be sent home with your student directly from their school. 

If your child needs a change in food items due to a medical condition, the cafeteria will happily work with you to make substitutions. However, we will need a written statement from your child's doctor, including the medical rationale and dietary instructions. We will then make changes as requested for your child to ensure they have a balanced meal.
