AVOCA FOOD SERVICE PROGRAM 
Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! Lunch looks a bit different this year, so please be sure to review Avoca West's and Marie Murphy's lunch protocols here. A notable difference is Avoca West has moved from a pre-order to a bin system. 

The price of a lunch this year is $5.25. This includes an entrée, side, fruit, vegetable, and milk or 8oz water. We will also have several a la carte items for sale at Marie Murphy. 

Visit our dedicated lunch page for more information, including free lunch forms, how to add funds to your student's account, access menus, review allergy disclaimers, and more!
