Meal Accounts/Free & Reduced Price Meals
New for 2024-2025: The district has shifted its student information system to jmc. As a part of that change, we are pleased to confirm that meal account data and payments will all be handled within the jmc software, so there will be no further need for separate logins to other software!
General Meal Account Information: Roland-Story meal accounts are set up as "family accounts." This means that, if you have multiple students enrolled, all of their meal charges will pull from that one account.
The middle school and high school kitchens offer several à la carte options during both breakfast and lunch serving times. Please be mindful of this if you have a younger student in either of those buildings in the morning before riding the shuttle bus, as they will have access to the kitchen during this time. If you would like to block your student from purchasing à la carte items, please contact their building office.
If your student is approved for free or reduced meals, please know that this reduction only applies to breakfast and lunch meals and not to extras or à la carte items. If your student purchases extras or à la carte items, you will need to deposit appropriate funds into your family meal account for those purchases.
Applying for Free & Reduced Price Meals: Your students may qualify for free or reduced price meals. You can apply for these benefits by completing the income-based application:
