Nourishing Minds, Fueling Futures: Our School Meal Program
At our school, we believe that well-fed students are better prepared to learn and thrive. That’s why we’re proud to offer a comprehensive meal program that goes beyond just filling stomachs – we’re committed to providing nutritious, balanced meals that meet Federal guidelines and cater to diverse tastes.
🍎 Breakfast of Champions Start the day right with our nutritionally balanced breakfast options:
- Choice of fresh milk
- Seasonal fruits
- 100% fruit juices
- Delicious entrées (most containing 2 components)
To enjoy our breakfast at the standard price, students need only select a fruit and one additional component. For example, an Egg & Cheese Biscuit paired with crisp Apple Slices makes for a perfect breakfast!
🥗 Lunch to Power Through the Day Our lunch menu is designed to provide energy and essential nutrients:
- Choice of fresh milk
- Variety of fruits
- Selection of vegetables
- Tasty entrée options (most containing 2 components)
To receive lunch at the standard price, students must include either a fruit or vegetable in their selection. For instance, a classic Cheeseburger with Milk and Apple Slices constitutes a complete lunch.
💡 Did you know? Your family may qualify for no-cost or reduced-price meals based on household income or family size. We encourage all families to explore this option: SJCSD Free/Reduced App page

At Fruit Cove Middle School, we’re not just serving meals – we’re nurturing potential, one plate at a time. Join us in fostering a healthier, happier school community through good nutrition!
All students will receive a Student I.D. at the startup of school; this is how they will access their lunch account by scanning it at the register. Please encourage your child to bring it every day; it helps the lines to go faster.
Adding Money to your Student’s Account
Prepayments to your child’s lunch account can be made via
* PayPams via https://paypams.com/
* Payment can also be received by the food and nutrition manager or cashiers in form of cash or check, if by check please include phone number and students name and ID number.
FREE and REDUCED MEAL APPLICATION
Parents are encouraged to complete one Free and Reduced application on line. Log onto SJCSD website – Food and Nutrition Department to apply. The Free and Reduced application must be completed every school year. Until the application is processed and approved by the District Food Service office, any meal charges will be the responsibility of the adult/guardian.
FORGOT YOUR LUNCH MONEY
Although students are to pay for their meal upon receipt, students may forget their lunch or lunch money. Our policy is: We never deny a child a school lunch! A school lunch consists of what is on the NSLP menu for that day’s lunch and DOES NOT include any A La Carte items. The NSLP lunch will be charged to his/her account.
MEAL CHARGES
The only item a student will be allowed to charge is a school lunch. Students will not be allowed to charge any A La Carte items.
A LA CARTE ITEMS
The Flyer’s Café does offer many extra items. Please check online regularly to see what is offered along with a price list. These items range in price from $.75 to $6.00 Please note that these items are not included in the Free and Reduce price meal program.
FOOD ALLERGIES
If your child has food allergies, please provide the school nurse with a physician’s note indicating the allergies and the appropriate substitutions that are recommended by the physician or medical authority.
PARENTAL RESTRICTIONS
If you feel your child is over purchasing restrictions can be placed on lunch account with an e- mail. Once restrictions are placed, they cannot be removed unless the parent provides the food and nutrition manger with an email asking for the restrictions to be removed. Signing up with PayPams is a great way to monitor your child’s daily spending.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel reach out to the Food Service Manager.
