Tualatin Valley Academy Hot Lunch Program
Opt-In Process
TVA offers a daily hot lunch option for students on an opt-in basis. Each morning during attendance, students will let their teacher know if they plan to receive hot lunch that day. This helps our kitchen team prepare the correct number of meals and reduce food waste.
Pricing
Preschool (PS) & Transitional Kindergarten (TK): $5.00 per lunch
Kindergarten – High School (K–HS): $6.00 per lunch
Payment & Lunch Accounts
Hot lunch must be prepaid. Each family has a lunch account managed through the school office, and siblings from the same household will share one account.
You can add money to your family’s lunch account by:
Bringing cash or check to the front office
Paying by credit or debit card using our secure Square Payment link (available on our website or by request)
We recommend adding at least $50 at a time, though there is no maximum limit. Families whose children regularly receive hot lunch are encouraged to add a larger amount (e.g., several hundred dollars) to avoid running a negative balance.
Account Balances
Lunch accounts are updated daily based on student participation.
If a family’s balance exceeds negative $20, students will not be able to receive hot lunch until the account is replenished.
You are welcome to contact the school office at any time to check your balance or ask questions about your lunch account. We’re happy to help!
