Updated 22-23 Meal Pric Information

 

  • The Ellington Public Schools are excited to restart free meals on March 1, 2023. This applies to both breakfast and lunch. Please note, a la carte items including second meals, snacks and bottled drinks require funds on a student's account. To add money to your student's account please choose one of the following options:

    • 1) Log onto payschoolscentral.com (you will need your student's 8-digit Student ID number which is listed on Infinite Campus.)
      2) Students can bring cash or a check to their teacher or to the Cafeteria to be added at the register. If you are sending in money with your student please make sure their first and last name are clearly written on the envelope. Checks should be made payable to Ellington Food Service
      Large bills or checks that can be deposited into student meal accounts are encouraged and appreciated to help the speed of service

    • Families in need are still encouraged to complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application to ensure you have access to all available benefits. Please see the Free and Reduced Meal Applications section below for more information if needed. 

The Ellington Public Schools are proud to collaborate with Whitsons School Nutrition to offer a healthy, nutritious, and convenient meal program for everyone. Our goal is to plan, prepare and serve nutritious meals, so our children are motivated to make healthy food choices at school. The traditional food-based menu planning system requires specific food group components to be served in specific amounts for each age/grade level.

Please click the Ellington Food Service Program link for all menus, contact information, pricing and nutritional information including allergens. For your convenience, we have also attached a simplified menu in a Word Document below that will be updated weekly.
