Lunch Program

Students may buy a hot lunch or bag lunch which includes milk or may bring a lunch
and buy only the milk. Hudson Nutrition Services uses MyPaymentsPlus
software. This allows lunch lines to move more efficiently by eliminating the
exchange of money during lunch. Students will use their student ID to record what
they are buying that day. Parents may put money on their child’s account by either
sending cash or a check to the school made payable to Hudson City Schools Food
Service. Please include the students’ name and ID number on the check or
envelope. Parents can also make deposits online at www.MyPaymentsPlus.com for a
small fee. The lunch program begins the first day of school for all students. If you
have any questions about food service, please contact them at 330-653-1203.

Low lunch balance automatic phone calls will made. Please be mindful to have your
child’s lunch account current. Menus and free and reduced lunch applications can be
found at www.hudson.k12.oh.us.

When students bring their lunch to school, we would appreciate that they be as
nutritious as possible. We discourage fast food and pop or sugary beverages. Thank
you for your cooperation regarding our efforts for a healthy mind and healthy body.
