2023-2024 Meal Service

All students enrolled in a CEP school receives access to free breakfast and lunch each school day.

If you have additional students in your home who attend other, non-CEP schools in the Beaverton School District, you must fill out a Meal Benefits Application and be approved to receive free meals.

There are two ways to add money to your child's account:

• Pay at School - cash or check are accepted in the school cafeteria. Receipts are provided upon request. Please make checks payable to BSD Nutrition Services, and include the student's name & ID number in the memo.

• Pay Online – School Cafe can be used for online payments. There is a small fee for using School Cafe to make deposits. Please visit: www.schoolcafe.com/beavertonsd 

Breakfast:  A reimbursable meal consists of at least three (3) items. A student must take at least 1 fruit or juice with their meal.

Lunch:  A reimbursable meal consists of at least three (3) components from the five (5) following food groups; Protein (Meat/Meat Alternate), Grain, Vegetable, Fruit and Fluid Milk. A student must take a minimum of 3 components from the 5 options, and one of the components must be at least 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable.

Milk will continue to be sold individually to students with a positive account balance or paying with cash. The cost of a carton of milk is 75 cents.

"A la carte" refers to items purchased individually, which a student buys separately from a reimbursable meal.  

These items at the Elementary School level which are purchased individually can include a/an: second entrée, extra juice at breakfast, milk, fruit, or vegetables.

At the Secondary School level, in addition to the items mentioned at the Elementary School level, students may choose to buy items which are Smart Snack Compliant.  Click here for more information on Smart Snack Standards governed by the USDA.

Parents can monitor and set limits for their child's purchases through SchoolCafe.
