Welcome to the Hamburg Area School District Food Service Department web page. As a partner in education, we are committed to providing our students and staff with wholesome, nutritious, and appetizing foods served in a courteous and professional manner. Our menus meet the standards set by the National School Lunch Program.

Breakfast and lunch are served in all buildings. The Middle School and High School have several serving lines that offer many options for selecting a reimbursable meal. These healthy, convenient, and economical meals contain high-quality ingredients from the five food groups: grains, vegetables, fruits, meat/poultry, and dairy products. Research has found a clear connection between good nutrition and student achievement, and schools that have implemented healthy food programs report fewer behavior problems.

  *** Our food distributors are currently having both supply chain and staffing challenges.  We will do our best to provide all the menu choices listed daily. Menu items are subject to change based on  availability of products and delivery. We appreciate your understanding.                                                    

Please Note: Breakfast is Free For All Students

The Food Service Department has transitioned to a new Point of Sale system. Our new partner is SchoolCafe.  You may be familiar with this name as they currently support our Free and Reduced lunch applications. If you have used SchoolCafe in the past, your active account should also be used for student lunch accounts.  The student account balances from MYSCHOOLACCOUNT.COM were imported into SchoolCafe on Tuesday August 13th. Please follow this link schoolcafe.com  to set up your family's account.  

Checks and cash can also be deposited in each building's office and cafeteria.
