Meals: Breakfast and Lunch

Menus

Swansfield Elementary School's school menu can be accessed through the LINQ Connect portal or mobile app. Families do not need a LINQ account to view menus, which are available to the public.

Free and Reduced Meals (FARMs)

HCPSS participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Students from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals. Parents/guardians must submit a new application every school year to maintain their student's eligibility. To apply, go to the HCPSS FARMs webpage.

Payment

Meal payments may be made via credit card using the LINQ Connect portal. On-site payments and prepayments may be made using cash or check. Parents/guardians will need to create an account to make online payments to their child’s meal account, monitor their child’s account, schedule automatic recurring payments, set up low balance alerts, submit a Free and Reduced Meals program application, and more.

A La Carte/Snack Items Available in the Cafeteria

Snacks are available to purchase for students. Children who get lunch from the cafeteria and who bring their lunch from home will be able to purchase a snack after all lunches are served.  Please note that if a family qualifies for free or reduced meals, snacks are available for purchase only-there are no free or reduced price options for snacks. 

Below is a list of the snacks that are available to purchase.  
Cookies 50￠
Pretzels 75￠
Icee Cup 75￠
Rice Krispie Treat $1.00

Please read below for additional information and have a conversation with your child about snacks in the cafeteria:
1. Parents must discuss acceptable snack purchasing for their children. For instance, is it okay to purchase one snack every day, once a week, or is snack purchasing not allowable for the family? 
2. Children may not purchase snacks for their peers, and snacks cannot be shared (just like other food items).
3. Snack sales can either be made by cash or monies available on student lunch accounts.  
If sending in cash, this must be the exact amount for the one purchased snack, or a bill of $1.00 
Change for purchased items will be placed back on to the child’s account.  
4. Parents have the right to restrict a la carte/snack purchasing for their students by logging into their personal accounts and selecting those features.
