SPS EZPAY

Due to the pandemic, the federal government has been providing universal free school meals for students.  This program has allowed Upper Arlington Schools and other school districts to provide free lunches to all students since the spring of 2020.

This federal waiver program expired this summer.  This means that beginning with the 2022-2023 school year, free or reduced-price meals will be available only to the families that qualify based upon financial need. The free or reduced-price meal benefit application is available in the Titan Family Portal.

All other students will be charged for meals and a la carte items / snacks purchased through the school cafeteria.

The meal costs for the start of the 2022-2023 school year will be:

• Elementary lunch: $3.00

• Middle school breakfast: $1.75; middle school lunch: $3.25 and $3.75

• High school breakfast: $2.00; high school lunch: $4.25 and $4.75

A la carte items will be available for an additional cost at each building level. For more details on our school meal program, including how to add money to your student’s meal account through SPS EZpay, please see this Nutritional Services flier. 

• Kindergarten, elementary and middle school students new to the district will receive their device during the first week of school in their classrooms.

• High school students new to the district can pick up their device from the first-floor tech office during the first week of school.
