•  Really Really Important Lunch Information
     
    Every student is eligible for a Free lunch now through June 30, 2021.
    Please take advantage of this generous offer from the California Dept of Education.  By ordering online at www.thelunchmaster.com you will secure a lunch for your child that can be picked up each Monday either at 11am until 12:30pm. 
     
    AM cohorts can pick up their ordered lunch at 11am when they pick up their student.
    PM cohorts can pick up their ordered lunch at 12:30pm when they drop off their student.
    If your student is distance learning, you can come at either time (11am or 12:30pm).
     
    It is important to pick up your lunch if you order one.  When a lunch is ordered but not picked up the District is not reimbursed by the state and loses $30 per box.  This adds up.
     
    DEADLINES: please place orders for Monday pickup by the Thursday prior at 10am. LunchMaster will open a month of ordering at a time to help alleviate missing the deadline. 
     
    If you have trouble ordering or have additional students in your home that are not signed up on LunchMaster, please contact nurrea@lcmschools.org to place an order.

    Lunches cost $6.00 per day. Late lunches are $7.50 ~ with a 3% credit card processing fee per order.

    What if my student forgets his/her lunch?

    If your child receives a LunchMaster emergency lunch because they do not have a lunch ordered the cost is $7.50 charged to your credit card by LunchMaster. 

    If the LunchMaster emergency lunches run out OR if your child is not registered with The LunchMaster,  your child can receive a healthy snack from the school office, the cost is $3.00 payable to Larkspur-Corte Madera School District. (you will be billed).


    Do meals served follow certain nutritional regulations?

    Our District participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and receives funding for compliant meals served to students. In order to receive funding, our District must follow strict requirements on portion sizes including specifications for Saturated Fat, Trans Fat, Calories and Sodium.  In addition, lunches served each day must include required amounts of protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and milk.  A variety of vegetables from certain subgroups including dark green leafy, red/orange, and legumes (dried peas and beans) are also required each week.


    If my child is still still hungry, are seconds available?  

    No. The District operates under the Offer versus Serve model. Students will be served once and should request enough food while receiving their allowable portions of meat/meat alternative, grains, vegetables and/or fruits, and milk. Students may request larger portions of fruits and vegetables if quantities are available.
