Breakfast and lunch meals are sold each morning in the Barcelona Middle School lunchroom between 7:50 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. Students or parents can place money in the cafeteria's Accu-scan system to pay for breakfast and/or lunch. The funds are credited to the child's account. When they come for breakfast or lunch, the cost is deducted from the account by the Accu-scan machine. Parents may put any amount of money into the account for their child, with a minimum of one week's worth of funds. Students may pay cash for lunch. Students may also purchase milk for $.25. If a whole lunch is purchased, milk is included. If your child is allergic to milk or some foods, please provide a written doctor's note and soy-milk or juice will be provided. All students must go to the cafeteria at lunchtime.

Alhambra District Child Nutrition Department

The Child Nutrition breakfast and lunch programs receive federal reimbursement to assist families and students. We wholeheartedly support the U.S.D.A. School Meal Initiative underscoring our national health responsibilities to assist in preventing America's high rates of heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer through good nutrition.
