Back to school is an exciting time for students and families, and as the beginning of the school year quickly approaches, we want to extend a warm welcome back to school and back to the café.  Chartwells K12 and Springfield School District are eager to welcome you and your student back to the school café with new flavors, events, food and wellness education that will surely inspire a healthy and fun 2018-19 school year.

Important information that you need to know about the Food Service Department:

  • National School Lunch Program applications are done online.  The link is on the district website and Nutrislice.  Parents can apply for free/reduced lunches for their children to ensure healthy nutrition and enriched learning.  The application MUST be completed each year for renewal.
  • Menus are displayed on Nutrislice which provides menu descriptions, original photos, and nutrition and allergy information. Download the Nutrislice App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) to view on your smartphone.  The Nutrislice link is located on the district website.
  • Computerized debit system in the cafeteria that allows students to purchase meals or snacks with a PIN number. All students have an account that parents may put money into through www.myschoolbucks.com for a small fee or by sending a check with their child to school.  Make the check out to “Springfield SD” and put the child’s name in the memo section.  Students still have the ability to purchase items with cash if that is your choice.
  • www.myschoolbucks.com allows parents to view their child’s lunch account to check their balance or view what they are purchasing.  Restrictions and allergens can also be placed on your child’s account if needed. Contact Brandon Lang to add the information.

Lunch prices are: Elementary schools – $2.70.  Middle school - $2.95.  High School is all a la carte. 
Breakfast is served at the Middle school and High School every day.  Prices are $1.60 or $ .30 reduced price.

If anyone is interested in working in the cafeteria for Chartwells K12 at Springfield SD the hours coincide with your child’s schedule and it is a great group of people to work with.  If interested, please apply online at www.compassgroupcareers.com.

On March 31, 2016, the FCC approved rules to modernize Lifeline so that subscribers can also purchase discounted broadband from participating providers. Discounts will apply to stand-alone broadband, bundled voice-broadband packages - either fixed or mobile - and stand-alone voice service. Watch this page for an announcement of when these new rules take effect. These modernizations will help ensure that low-income consumers can afford 21st-century broadband and the access it provides to jobs, education and opportunities.
