As we begin the 2025–2026 school year, the Food Service Department would like to share some important updates:
Free School Meals
-
Once again, breakfast and lunch are free for all students, thanks to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
New Payment System: LinQ
-
We are moving away from MySchoolBucks and transitioning to LinQ for:
-
A la carte purchases
-
Second lunches
-
Staff meals
-
-
Any remaining balances from MySchoolBucks have been automatically transferred to your new LinQ account.

To set up your student or staff account, please visit:
A La Carte & Second Lunches

Beginning next week, a la carte items will be available at Veterans and the High School.

The Village School will begin offering a la carte items in the coming weeks.

Students will also be able to purchase a second lunch starting next week.
