FIGHT HUNGER/ TAX DEDUCTION
You can help Ashwaubenon students that struggle with hunger. Whether you're an individual or a company, a gift of money is a charitable donation and qualifies for a tax deduction. You can pick any donation parameters. The money goes directly to families in need. For more information, contact the district office.
GOAL
The Ashwaubenon School Food Service Program, as a partner in education, supports student achievement by efficiently providing high quality food and services. Our innovative, nutritious and cost effective meals strive to encourage a lifetime of good nutrition.
All meals are prepared onsite at our five schools; from oven to table in minutes, and are compliant with the meal regulations for The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. These programs include operational and support personnel totaling about 26 people in the five school kitchens. We truly teach lunch and sell nutrition.
The Food Service Department works with area farmers, in collaboration with Farm To School and Brown County's 54218 Program, to procure locally grown produce and bring education into classrooms. Learn more at https://www.live54218.org/ or click here for our most recent Farm to School Report.

SMART SNACKS PROGRAM
Smart Snack products are offered to students in grades 6-12. The items are individually priced and should supplement a healthy meal. Smart Snack items are NOT part of the free/ reduced meal program and only students with a positive account balance may participate. Families are responsible for all charges. Students can also pay cash to purchase products, and purchases can be blocked or have limitations implemented by notifying the district office at 920.492.2905 Ext. 1006.
SECOND FRUIT/ VEGETABLES
Students have the option of getting free seconds of fruits and vegetables if they complete their meal, and would like more to eat.
PICTURE ID/ TOUCH PADS
New for the 2019-20 school year, K-5 students will use a class photo identification program/ pin number to enter their participation for meals. As students come in for meals their class list with photos will be pulled up on a computer/ tablet screen to enter them into the lunch program for meal charges.
AHS and Parkview Middle School in grades 6-12 use a touch pad for purchases. When a meal number is entered, a picture verifies the student to the number. It is important that students remember their meal number. Please memorize the four-digit student meal number to expedite service. If you do not know the meal number please call 920-492-2905 x:1006. Cash sales will be allowed at both schools.
Family accounts must have a positive balance at all times.
