Important Lunch and Breakfast Information for 2025-2026

The deadline to order lunch for the first week of school is Tuesday, Aug 12th by 9am.

Please read ALL of this important breakfast and lunch information:

Kinder Parents and new families:  Please set up a student lunch account with LunchMaster - Go to:  TheLunchMaster website

School codes:

NC = neilcummins

Cove = coveschool

Hall = Hall students do not order lunch online – a variety of meals are available each day to Hall students who choose to pick up lunch. NO need to create an account for a Hall student.

Returning families: Upon logging into LunchMaster, you will be required to update your students grade level and class teacher (if your student is in Kinder, 1st or 2nd)– It is important to update so your students lunch ticket gets to their classroom each day.  Unfortunately, teacher assignments are not available until next week – Please choose the exact grade your student is in and next time you place an order on lunchmaster, please update the teachers name (again only Kinder, 1st and 2nd) need to add a teacher name.

School breakfast and lunch will be served daily and are at no cost to any family regardless of income level.  The District pays for each lunch that is ordered and is only reimbursed from the State based on meals that are picked up by your student (not just ordered).  Please do not order meals if your student is not interested. Last year, the District lost $5.40 per lunch that was not picked up which amounted to thousands of dollars and wasted a lot of food.  If your student is not picking up their ordered lunch on a consistent basis, you will be contacted.

Deadlines: Cove and Neil Cummins Lunch orders will need to be placed by 9am on Tuesday for the following week. Approx. 7 days early.  

Hall students do not order lunch online – a variety of meals are available each day to Hall students who choose to pick up lunch.

The deadline for the first week of school is Tuesday, Aug 12th – PLEASE order now for the rest of August.  Cove & NC Kinder thru 2nd grade students should add their teacher's name to their student's account - you can add this information to your account after school starts or as soon as you receive notice of their classroom. This is important because lunch stickers are directly sent to the classrooms.

Breakfast is available 15 minutes before the school bell – there is NO NEED to order breakfast, there will be cold cereal, milk, fruit and muffins each day. Students who pick up breakfast will sit in the designated area until the bell rings, they are not allowed to leave the designated area until the school bell rings -  no grab and go.  NC breakfast is served in the gym, Cove breakfast is served in the gallery, Hall breakfast is served in front of the Hall gym.

If your household income level is lower than the income eligibility guidelines attached, please consider completing an application.  Your student may receive benefits such as:  SUNBUCKS EBT card, scholarships for bus pass, PE uniform, yearbook, and Outdoor Education, school pictures, Chromebook insurance, and field trips.

Please email Nichole Urrea – nurrea@lcmschools.org with any questions about the meal program.
