School Lunches |
|
School lunches are
available for purchase daily at all RISD schools. The
student plate lunch in elementary school costs $2.00 and
consists of an entree, two side dishes and milk.
Nutritious
breakfasts are also available to students for only
$1.50.
RISD participates
in paypams.com, an online website that handles
prepayments of school meals. Parents may log on to the
site directly or through the district website to deposit
money into their child's account. MasterCard and
Discover cards are accepted on the site. Parents may
also pre-pay directly to the cafeteria by cash, check or
money order. All checks must include your driver’s
license number and date of birth. |
