The School District of Amery has several breakfast and lunch options for students at the Middle and High School. This page includes critical information for students as well as parents/guardians so you can ensure you are being charged appropriately and not making non-approved purchases.
What is A la Carte?
A la Carte items are foods and beverages that are available for purchase at the upper grades for an additional cost above regular meal prices. This includes all lunch meal items that are not part of a complete meal. The student's meal account must have a positive balance to purchase a la carte items, and parents/guardians must have a signed permission form on file with School Nutrition.
There are two categories of A la Carte Items, and prices are listed in the adjacent tables:
