Meal Pricing

The Child Nutrition team is excited about providing meals for your student(s) in the Jackson R-2 School District. We provide healthy breakfast and lunch options every school day at all 10 school locations. Breakfast is a great way to jump-start the day and includes an entrée, fruit/juice, and milk. For lunch, we provide multiple entrées for our students to choose from as well as a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, baked goods, salads, juice, and milk. Students may have an entrée and up to 3 additional items to form a complete meal. Al la carte items will be an additional charge. A healthy meal helps improve a positive effect on students’ alertness, attention, and other skills important to academic success! 

Your children may qualify for free meals or for reduced-price meals. Please see Frequently Asked Questions below for more information.
