From providing nutritious meals that help students focus to creating an environment where safe, clean and comfortable classrooms help them engage in learning, Sodexo focuses on student well-being which directly impacts student achievement.

Want to know what’s on the menu? Sodexo has you covered there, too. You can view menus for each of our schools onlin eor by downloading the Nutrislice app. in the Apple or Google Play store.

Either way you choose to view menus, you get a whole lot more than just a view of what’s on your student’s plate, but also the nutrition behind it. Icons next to menu items allow you to:

• Plan for dietary and allergy restrictions
• Find out if the dish offers important food groups such as protein, whole grains or dairy
• View the nutritional information for the dish such as calorie count, sodium and carbohydrates

How Much Does Lunch Cost?

• At James Lintott Elementary (grades K-2), Orin Smith Elementary (grades 3-5) and Chehalis Middle School (grades 6-8), all students are automatically eligible for free breakfast and lunch. This means one free meal per student per meal served. If a student chooses to have an additional meal or order a la carte items, their student account will be charged.
• At W.F. West High School (grades 9-12), students must pay for breakfast and lunch unless their family has applied for and been notified they are eligible for free or reduced lunch (more info below). Breakfast is $2.00 and lunch is $3.55.

To view your student’s lunch account balance, log into Family Access in Skyward and choose “Food Service” in the menu bar on the left hand side. This page gives you information on your student’s balance, fees due, payments made and daily account of what your student has purchased. A payment button will take you to a portal where you can make a payment to your student’s account.

W.F. West students will not be denied meals if they do not have a balance in their student lunch account, but the cost of their meal will be added to their account and parents will be billed toward the end of the school year if they have a balance owed. Want to keep from being surprised by a lunch bill? Log into Family Access in Skyward and then choose “My Account” at the top of the page. You can opt in to receive a message if your student’s lunch account goes below $5 remaining.

Eligibility for free and reduced lunch is based on family income. Eligibility is not based on immigration or citizenship status. Please make sure you read the “Letter to Families” which explains income requirements. If your family is eligible for free or reduced lunch, we encourage you to fill out the paperwork, even if your student attends a school where meals are provided for free because the forms can also qualify you for other assistance. Before filling out forms, check with your student’s school office or the Chehalis School District Office (360-807-7200) to see if an application already exists for your family for the 2024-2025 school year. Households may apply for benefits at any time during the school year.
