We've moved our menus to Nutrislice. It's a great way to view and download calendar menus as well as check out nutritional values and filter out allergens.

At the elementary schools, ala carte items such as the extra entrée and juice box are available. North Middle School and the High School have many more ala carte choices available, including healthy snack options. If your account has a negative balance, ala carte purchases will not be permitted to be charged to your account. If your student is not blocked from ala carte purchases, your account will be charged if these items are taken. Please fill out the “Ala Carte Restriction Form” to prevent these purchases.

You'll have to fill out this ala carte restriction form that will keep your student from purchasing extra items with your lunch account.

Parents/guardians can make online lunch account payments. Directions are found on your school’s website under “Menus & Online Payments”. Click on “Prices & Payments” and then the “Family Lunch Account Information” link. There is a $3.00 convenience fee for online payments.

Parents/guardians can also pay by check. Checks should be made payable to Menomonee Falls School Nutrition and can be mailed to the attention of the School Nutrition Department, Menomonee Falls High School, N80 W14350 Titan Dr, Menomonee Falls, WI 53051. Please remember to put your Family ID number on the check. If the family name is different than the student’s name, please also write the student’s full name on the check as well.

New! Make Lunch Account Payments in PowerSchool & View Your Lunch Balance

Families are now able to make lunch payments and view lunch account balances through PowerSchool. Families can still make lunch payments and view lunch account balances in Wordware, but these options are now also available to families through PowerSchool.

Please do not send cash payments.

If the cash gets lost, it is very difficult to track down. All Payments can be sent to school with your student. Your student can give the payment to the school secretary in the front office or to a School Nutrition employee in the cafeteria. Only at the High School do we accept cash for purchases for both hot lunch and ala carte items. We do not accept cash in the hot lunch lines at any of the other schools. We would like to recommend depositing $25 or more per student at a time. Please note that our office requires a minimum of two business days to record payments.

Families with an e-mail address in the lunch account will be notified by email when the account falls below $10, per default, or as adjusted by the family. Depending on the number of students in your account and if your student purchases ala carte items, it is possible your lunch account could go from a positive to a negative balance in one day.

If you would like a higher low balance level than $10, you can change your setting in Wordware under “Family Account” then “Change Settings – Notifications”. In addition, an automated phone call will go home to families on a regular basis. There are two separate messages. One to accounts that have a balance of $10 per student, and one informing a family their account has fallen into the negative.

Families with a cell phone number in the lunch account will also be notified by text when the account falls below $10, per default.

If you are not receiving these notifications, please contact us in the School Nutrition Department at 262-250- 6462. It is the responsibility of the family to keep their lunch account in the positive and for paying off any negative balances in a timely manner.

The District may utilize the services of a collection agency, credit bureau and/or legal counsel to secure collection on unpaid debts not paid within 30 days of notification, unless an alternative payment plan has been reached. Any costs incurred by the District, in collecting negative balances, may be added to the unpaid debt due to the District.

Your family ID number will remain the same year after year. Student and staff lunch ID numbers will also remain the same year after year.
