About Nutrition Services
The Nutrition Services Department offers nutritionally balanced, appetizing school meals to the students and staff of the Johnston Community School District. Meals are planned to follow high nutritional standards set by the United States Department of Agriculture. The Johnston Community School District is an equal opportunity provider.
End-of-the-year Lunch Account Balances
School lunch account balances remain in students’ accounts from year to year.
- If a child transfers to another building, the lunch account balance will transfer with the child to the new building.
- Graduating seniors’ lunch account balances will first go toward paying any outstanding fees, and then transferred to a sibling account or refunded to the parent.
- For children not returning to the Johnston Community School District next year, please call the nutrition department at 515-278-0278 to request a lunch account balance refund.
