How to Check your Students Lunch Account Transactions

E-Funds & Funding Lunch Accounts

We are asking that all outstanding lunch balances be paid promptly to support our programs' finances. Funding lunch accounts can be paid through e~Funds:

Here are a few helpful hints to get started:

You will need your child's lunch/student ID number to make a payment.
Click here for the e~Funds payment site

You can still make payments at the main office during registration days, or at any lunch room cashier but setting up an account and paying in advance will save time and give you an opportunity to see a breakdown of your fees in advance.

How to Check your Student lunch account transactions

You can still make payments directly to a Food Service Cashier at any school cafeteria with cash or check, but setting up an account and paying in advance will save time and give you an opportunity to see a breakdown of your lunch activity in advance. I would like to encourage parents and caregivers to have conversations with your student/s regarding you and your families lunch and a la carte participation. As a school requirement we can not deny a student taking a hot lunch, note that any hot lunch taken by your student/s will be charged to their account.

Lunch Accounts & Negative -$20 rule on a la carte Items

Our school food program is committed to ensuring every child stays nourished, so no student is ever denied a hot lunch meal; the cost of the lunch will be deducted from their lunch account. Please note that if your lunch account balance reaches a negative $20 or more, you will not be able to charge any extra a-la-carte items until that balance is paid down, though you may still continue to charge standard lunches.

I would like to encourage parents and caregivers to have conversations with your student/s regarding you and your families lunch and a la carte participation. As a school requirement we can not deny a student taking a hot lunch, please note that any hot lunch taken by your student/s will be charged to their account.

Nutrition Services Department Update

We have received valuable feedback from both students and parents regarding the length of our daily lunch line at Aspen High School and the wait times during meal service. We want every student to have plenty of time to enjoy their meal, so we are addressing a few key areas to help improve the flow and speed of the line. Please click here for more information.

Annual School Thanksgiving Lunch

As autumn leaves turn and the air grows crisp, we are excited to invite our students to gather for our Annual School Thanksgiving Lunch! A cherished tradition that brings our entire school family; students & staff around the table. The tradition of Thanksgiving traces back to centuries-old harvest festivals where communities came together to express gratitude, share food, and honor the seasonal harvest— Thanksgiving is a national holiday to encourage unity and reflection across the country. In that same spirit of togetherness, our school cafeterias will be serving a delicious, traditional holiday feast with all the fixings. We look forward to celebrating our vibrant school community, and reflecting on all that we are thankful for this year! We can't wait to share this special lunch meal of gratitude and fellowship with our students and staff!

Please note: Due to high meal demand and limited seating capacity, our Annual Thanksgiving Lunch is exclusively for students and staff. While we love welcoming our families into the school, keeping this meal internal ensures every student can be served safely and promptly during their standard lunch period. Thank you for your understanding and support in making this meal special for our students and school staff!
