In order for students to participate in the DCSD lunch program, parents must first
create a lunch payment account for each student on
MySchoolBucks. The account must be preloaded with money (a credit card is required). Once their lunch payment account set-up is complete, students may purchase a DCSD lunch on any school day. Students will need to know their six-digit DCSD Student Number (different from the American Academy Family/Carpool ID Number), which can be found in your Infinite Campus parent account in the upper left corner next to the student picture.
Manage Lunch with Nutrislice app
American Academy contracts with DCSD to bring healthy, delicious lunch options to our students at school each day. Lunch menus and nutritional information have always been available online, but now there’s an easier way to look — the Nutrislice app!
Grab the Nutrislice app to easily view lunch menu items at your campus on any given day. View nutritional information and food allergy warnings and sort the daily menu by food preferences or dietary needs to see what students can eat. You can even rate the menu items to give DCSD Nutrition Services feedback!
Opt-Out for DCSD a la Carte Lunch Items
DCSD provides a number of a la carte lunch options for students to choose while they are moving through the lunch line. If you’d prefer to NOT allow your student to buy any of those a la carte items, you can just say “no!”
Download the DCSD No Seconds opt-out form, complete and print, and turn into your campus front office. We will pass it along to the DCSD lunch staff and it will be noted in your student’s DCSD lunch account.
Financial Assistance
DCSD provides lunch assistance (Free and Reduced Lunch or FRL) to interested and qualified American Academy K-8 families. To apply, please
complete the online DCSD application. The application typically opens mid-July for the next school year. If qualified for lunch assistance, families will be notified by DCSD with a confirmation letter, which must then be given to the American Academy Business Services Assistant at your campus (see the list below).
- Interested families must apply for lunch assistance every school year, even if previously qualified.
- For questions about DCSD’s Free and Reduced Lunch program, please contact Susan Babineau at DCSD Nutrition Services
