Elementary lunch is $3.75, and .40 for reduced price eligible students.

Palo Alto Unified School District (PAUSD) provides meal services for our students. Lunch is offered at all schools. Families may be eligible for free or reduced priced meals. To apply, you may complete the online form by visiting www.lunchapp.com or you can pick up an application at Food Services, 25 Churchill Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94306.

All elementary schools receive deposits/checks in any amount over $20. Tickets are not issued at these schools. Money is simply deposited into the child’s lunch account and debited as purchases are made. We encourage families NOT to send cash for lunch on a daily basis. We strongly prefer the options listed below.

1. Visit www.lunchdeposit.com, open an account (opening an account is free – you will need your child’s 8 digit Student ID number) and deposit money into your child’s account online! You can also view your child’s lunch account balance on line at the same Web site. Note: There is a 6% service fee each time funds are deposited on www.lunchdeposit.com. Deposits will go right into your child’s lunch account.

2. Don’t want to deposit funds online? Send a check made out to PAUSD Food Service to your child’s school or to Food Services at 25 Churchill Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94306. The amount sent will be deposited into your child’s lunch account.

For information about the lunch program email foodserv@pausd.org or call 650-329-3806.. Look for detailed information mailed from the PAUSD to each family and on the Duveneck Web page. Menus are published monthly and distributed one per family attached to the Duveneck Dispatch (extras are available in the school office).
