Food Services

For the 2023-2024 school year, Penn Manor will continue to provide free breakfasts for all students at all of its schools. In addition, students who qualify for the Free and Reduced Price Lunch Program will receive lunches for free. There will be no reduced-price lunches this year.

2023-2024 Breakfast and Lunch Menus

New Menus!

Penn Manor is introducing Nutrislice, a new system to display school menus. You can access the new menus online or via the Nutrislice mobile app for Android or mobile app for iPhone/iPad.

On mobile devices: Click on your child’s school to see a calendar listing breakfast and lunch for each day. You can click on the heart icon to have it automatically displays each time you use the Nutrislice app.

Clicking on a food item displays its nutritional information. You can also printout school menus by clicking on the upper right corner where it says Print.

We hope you find this system a useful tool to keep up to date on the foods being served at Penn Manor schools.

Menus are subject to change without notice due to supply issues involving our food distributor, which is experiencing labor and product supply shortages. Please know that we will do our best to get the products we need so our menus are accurate. Thank you for your understanding.

Free and Reduced Price Lunches

Nutritious meals are essential to the growth and development of our children. Well-balanced lunches are available to your child on a daily basis in the school cafeteria. Penn Manor School District participates in the National School Lunch Program, which means that we must meet certain nutritional criteria when we serve your child lunch. Each lunch we serve offers your child protein, fruits, vegetables, bread, and milk. The lunch prices for the 2023-2024 school year as follows: elementary-$2.35, secondary-$2.50, $3.50, $3.75; and adult lunches-$4.00/$4.75. Breakfast prices are: free for all students; adult-$2.00, milk-$0.60.

Offer vs. Serve

We encourage you to discuss menu selections at home with your child. Help him or her learn to make wise nutritious menu selections. Your child may refuse one or two menu items while proceeding through the lunch line and still meet the requirements of the school lunch program.

Meal tickets

(Pre-paid breakfasts/lunches): As a service to parents and to help students avoid lost or forgotten lunch money, lunches can be purchased in advance by either check or cash. Checks should be made payable to: “Penn Manor Food Service.” We will remind your child when his/her lunch ticket is getting low. Please indicate on the check your child’s name and grade. The cost for a full-price meal ticket is $50 for elementary and secondary. The reduced-price meal ticket is $10. In addition, pre-paid money also can be used to purchase ala carte food items.

My School Bucks

All prepaid money will be available for student purchases of breakfast, lunch, and ala carte. Also, parents will have the ability to print out a copy of their child’s eating history report. This history report will show you all dates and times that your child has made food purchases within the past 30 days. This service can only be utilized if parents register students on the website MySchoolBucks.com.  From this site, you will create your account and add money to your child’s school meal account. All you need is your child’s name, student ID number and school zip code.

Each month, menus will be posted on the district website and in the cafeteria. In addition to the regular daily entree, your child can choose a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich (C lunch), or yogurt and string cheese (D lunch), offered daily. In addition, ala carte items such as ice cream, water, and baked snack items are offered on a daily basis for an additional cost.

Elementary Schools

Every Tuesday, a Type “S” lunch will be offered. Type “S” lunch is a chef salad consisting of a bed of lettuce/salad greens and a dinner roll. The chef salad may include the following protein  food items: grated cheese, ham, hard-boiled egg, turkey, tuna salad and chicken salad. The Type “S” lunch will include the dessert and milk listed on the menu for that day.

Power Packs Program

The program serves Penn Manor families in need by providing them with a recipe and the main ingredients to make one weekend meal; eight or nine grocery items, including protein and fresh produce; milk every two to three weeks; and tips for healthy living. Penn Manor residents can sign up for Power Packs by completing an online application and can find out more information about the program.
