Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, Hitchcock ISD is proud to operate our Child Nutrition Program in-house. While the management structure has changed, many of the familiar faces who serve our students each day in our cafeterias remain part of our team and will continue providing the excellent service our families have come to expect.

Hitchcock ISD is committed to ensuring that every student has access to nutritious meals that support learning and success in the classroom. Daily breakfast and lunch menus will be available on our website. Additional information regarding menu access will be shared soon.

Hitchcock ISD qualifies for state and federal programs that allow the district to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students. However, it is critical that every family complete the Household Income Form during the registration process. This information helps determine funding eligibility and supports the district's ability to continue offering free meals to all students.

Students may also purchase approved à la carte items and snacks. To add funds to your student's meal account for these optional purchases, please visit:

https://www.lunchmoneynow.com/lmnhck/splash.php

Families will continue using the same Lunch Money Now system. Once registered, you may use your student's Skyward Student ID number to connect and manage their account.
