We are excited to announce that starting in school year 2015-2016, TLCA has joined the ranks of more than 300 school districts across 27 states and has made the decision to partner with Preferred Meals to provide food service for our entire district.  With over 45 years of experience, Preferred Meals is passionate about serving nutritious, well balanced, and tasty food. All meals are kid tested and approved and also meet state and federal dietary guidelines.

MEAL ACCOUNT BALANCES AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

Cash and check payments can be sent to school with your student to be given to their teacher and a receipt will be sent back home to keep for your record. Payments can also be made in the front office of all campuses. Payments may take 24 hrs to post to student accounts.

 

Negative balance notices are sent home with students at least once a week and higher balances may be mailed home as well.
