Food & Nutrition

Penn-Harris-Madison Food Service proudly serves nutritious school meals that meet federal nutritional standards and guidelines. Providing healthy, well-balanced meals supports students’ overall performance and success at school. Proper nutrition fuels the brain!

All children will receive a full school breakfast and/or lunch when they come through the serving line. If your child brings a home lunch and forgets it, or the meal account is delenquint, the student will not go without a meal. However, all meals will be charged to the account and must be paid in full. Click here for P-H-M’s Meal Charge Guidelines.

Per P-H-M practices, the status of meal accounts are not discussed in detail at the register with the student. It is our goal to handle these discussions with parents/guardians.

One of the advantages of SchoolCafé  is that you can set up auto renewal payments when your student’s account gets low. Click for more information on how to setup your SchoolCafé account.
