The Student Cafeteria is located in the center of campus (room 180 on the campus map).
Breakfast is $1.00 and lunch is $1.50.
Food at the cafeteria is delicious, nutritious and will not get squished in a backpack! Studies have shown that good nutrition is critical for learning -- so let's make sure all our students are eating properly.
Please send students with change and $1 bills, as bills $20 or larger are not accepted.
School Lunch Program
Free and reduced-price lunches are available for eligible students. Some families may not realize that they qualify so be sure to turn in an application.
Forms are due early this year, so fill in the lunch application forms as soon as possible and turn them into the Main Office (see campus map). Additional forms are available at the front desk.
Questions? Please contact Palms Middle School and leave a message for Terri Andersen, Title 1 Coordinator.
Point of Service System
In March 2012 the LAUSD Food Services Division implemented a Point-of-Service (POS) system, replacing the use of tickets and meal cards. Students no longer lose tickets and meal cards!
Students are identified by a unique Personal Identification Number (PIN). A student keys his or her PIN into the keypad at the cashier station and the cashier can identify the student based on the PIN and the school photo that appears on the screen.
It is very important that students know their PIN. Please help them learn and remember it. If your child does not have a PIN, contact the school.
You can deposit cash into your child's account at the cafeteria. In the future, anyone with an account will be able to pre-pay and track balances via the Internet.
For further information see the announcement letter (English, Spanish).
