Allen School offers breakfast from 8:30am to 8:45am.  If your child qualifies for a free or reduced lunch, he/she is also entitled to a free or reduced breakfast.  It is particularly important that students participating in the breakfast program arrive on time, preferably by 8:30am, so they have sufficient time to eat breakfast before going to class.  Students must finish their breakfast and be on the playground no later than 8:45am.

Allen School has a computerized meal card system.  The meal card is debited each time your child eats breakfast or lunch.  Prepayments are encouraged for at least 5 meals or more and are good for both breakfast and lunch.  A drop-box is available in the school office or outside the cafeteria for your prepayments.  You may also send prepayments to school with your child or you may pay in person in the cafeteria between 8:15am and 1:00pm.

Meal applications for free or reduced meals are available in the first day of school packets or the school office.  This application needs to be filled out and returned to school.  If your child qualifies for free or reduced meals, you will be notified by the Chula Vista Elementary School District.  Until you receive notification, it is your responsibility to pay the full price for any meals your child eats at school.

Students with single meal payments in cash for breakfast and lunch are to pick up their cards from the card rack and proceed through the cafeteria line.  This year’s meal prices are as follows:

 Full Price Reduced Free
Breakfast $1.00 $.30 No Cost
Lunch $1.50 $.40 No Cost
