Wellness Tip: How to Limit Charges to Just Lunch



A la carte café menu

Did you know you can restrict lunch accounts to lunch only – eliminating the temptation for your child to buy packaged treats and snacks from the a la carte cafe? If complete restriction seems too extreme, you can also place a cap on the account, limiting spending at the a la carte cafe to whatever amount you deem reasonable. Unfortunately, most of the snacks offered are high in salt, sugar and/or artificial ingredients and low in nutritional value for growing middle schoolers. To restrict or limit your child’s account, email FoodService@lwsd.org and make your request.
