Our lunch menu this school year has been handpicked from the most popular lunch menu items from last year with a few new recipes put in. Most important from creating our menu to serving the students is done with the labor of love. We care about what your student(s) eat. Meals, food and beverages sold or served at Syracuse Arts Academy meet State and Federal requirements based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines.

We post a new menu every 3 weeks.

Please watch your student(s) meal balance. This is a lot like a checkbook and needs to maintain a positive balance. You can track your student(s) balance online. If you need to make a payment you can pay by card online this may take up to 48 hours to post and a small fee to process payment. You may also pay in the office with a check or cash.

If your student is needing a school sack lunch for their field trip make sure to fill out the field trip form. Our sack lunches will include a turkey sandwich, apple slices, carrot sticks, chips, rice krispy treat, and a milk or juice. 

It is very important that the kitchen receive the form from the teacher at least 2 weeks prior to the field trip. Please be proactive in getting this information back to the teacher. 

The kitchen will make the sack lunch prior to your student leaving on the field trip. 

We will charge your student for their sack lunch, based on your request, before the end of the lunch day. So it is very important that you remember whether you ordered a school sack lunch or not. 

**Important** Please talk to your student(s) about their participation with purchasing these extras.

We offer à la carte items to students. These items are NOT included with free/reduced lunch pricing. Please have a conversation with your student about their participation. It is important that if your student chooses to participate that they have a positive lunch balance. We try to do our best to only allow students with a positive lunch balance to participate, but we need your help to ensure this happens. Full à la carte prices will be on our webpage by August 20th.

Home lunch students wanting to purchase milk or  à la carte items must have a positive lunch account.
