Lunch Information
We hope you enjoyed trying some new items in October and supporting local farmers.
We had the opportunity to sample foods from two international menus: Banh Mi sandwiches and pho from Vietnam, as well as Polish dogs, German potato salad, and pretzels from Germany.
October also included a “Taste of Local Foods” and the National Apple Crunch! We hope your student took advantage of the many local foods we featured. Apples, potatoes, peppers, yams, carrots, jicama, prickly pear cactus, tomatoes, and mushrooms were just a few of the highlights. Showcasing locally grown food helps support our local farmers.
Also, please make sure to check your student’s lunch balance in ASPIRE. If you are using the online payment system, allow up to 10 days for processing, so please don’t wait until your child has a negative balance to make payments.
Thank you for allowing us to serve your students here in the Lion’s Den Cafe, and for helping to keep account balances positive.
**FYI**
If you use the online payment system, please note that it can take up to 10 business days for the funds to transfer into your student's ASPIRE account. The balance displayed in your online account may not be accurate. To check your student's balance, please refer to their ASPIRE account.
Even if the funds are withdrawn from your account at the time of payment, they may not transfer directly into the ASPIRE account. If your child's balance is negative, you can make a payment directly to the school via check or cash. If you choose to use the online system, please note that negative balance notifications will continue until the funds clear, and your student will still be informed of a negative balance.
Additionally, there is a fee for credit card payments made through the system.

Our cafeteria uses the SIP system for online payments. The system does not reflect updated account balances, it is just a portal to make payments.
There is a credit/debit card fee for using this service. There is a 0.49¢ fee if you select payment by an e-check which will require your routing number and bank account.
The ASPIRE account is the correct account.
