PAYING FOR MEALS
AHSD25 Food & Nutrition Services Department uses the Mealtime Online Payment System for families to conveniently deposit money and monitor their student(s) lunch account balance. Deposits made online are posted to student point of sale accounts immediately. You can also download the Mealtime App on your phone to quickly deposit money and monitor your student(s) balance. Please scan the QR code below to download:
In addition to online payments, payments can be made with cash or check (please make out checks to Arl. Hts. School District 25 and write your child's name in the memo). At elementary schools, money is turned into the school office and at middle schools, cash/check can be dropped off in the Lunch Account Deposit Box located in the foyer of your school. We do not accept cash or checks to pay for meals or snacks during lunch service.
We encourage all families to use the mealtime payment system to monitor their child’s balance. Even if you choose to pay for meals with cash/check, you can monitor your students' account online. Once you have established an account for your child, please check the box to have an email reminder sent to you when your balance is low.
For more information on managing your student's meal account, please visit our Parent Student Handbook.
SNACKS
South and Thomas Middle Schools offer snack options in addition to our lunch offerings that are available to purchase. Our snacks meet the requirements of the USDA Smart Snacks. Nutrition and ingredient information can be found using our interactive menu by selecting the snack menu under South or Thomas Middle Schools.

We currently have vegetarian menu items available daily at all our AHSD25 schools. You can view the vegetarian items by using the dietary preference filter option on My School Menus.
- At South & Thomas Middle Schools, we have plant-based or vegetarian hot entree choices daily. There is no pre-order required.

We do offer a vegetarian and plant-based cold lunch option daily. If you would like to request a hot vegetarian lunch item for your student, a monthly pre-order will be required for this specialized menu. To request this, please email Sandy Voss, RDN, SNS at svoss@sd25.org.
