Free or Reduced Lunch Benefits
As a member of the National School Lunch Program, Saint Joseph High School offers free and reduced lunches to qualifying students. Families must apply each year for program eligibility. The application to apply for benefits opens annually on July 1, and can be found here. Applying at least one week before the first day of school ensures that your student, if eligible, will receive free or reduced-priced meals when school starts. Families must reapply every year to be eligible. Paper copies of the application are available in the Office of Student Life and the Main Office.

Meal Magic Accounts
We use the Meal Magic System for lunch purchases. Families can create an online account at https://stjosephin.familyportal.cloud to check their cafeteria balance and add funds to their student's account. The form is on our website under the Parents link. Note: when searching for the school, enter "St. Joseph High School." (It is not listed as "Saint" here).
If you have any food service related questions please contact Danielle Kaidan, Director of Food Services at dkaidan@saintjoehigh.com
Lunch Payment Policy
Saint Joseph High School believes that having a nutritious lunch is critical to school success. Therefore, we will allow a student to charge up to two meals after their lunch account balance is zero. This policy applies to students who pay reduced or full price lunch (not to students receiving free lunch benefits). If, after two charged meals, the student’s cafe balance is still zero, the student will be provided a peanut butter/jelly sandwich and milk for lunch. They will not receive the hot lunch option or be allowed to select a la carte items until the balance is above zero. The Director of Food Services will contact the student’s family or legal guardian to discuss bringing the balance above zero.
Students must have money in their lunch account to purchase a la carte items. No charging is allowed for these items.
