Student Meal Policy:

Students of Ashland USD 220 are required to pay for meal fees in advance.  Payment will be accepted at each attendance center office.  Each student will have a meal account where advance payments will be posted.  When a student's meal account balance falls below a balance sufficient to pay for two meals, the student and/or parent/guardian will receive payment reminder calls and emails.

Establishing a Meal Account:
To establish a meal account for your child, send a check for any amount to your school's office made payable to USD 220 with your student's name in the memo section.  If sending cash, please use an envelope and write lunch account as well as your child's name.
