​Per the USDA, Overton County Schools has returned to traditional serving for the 2023-2024 year. It is highly encouraged for those who normally qualify for free and reduced meals to go online and fill out an online application in mid or late July. Online applications will be available mid or late July for the 2023-2024 school year. You must have your child's Skyward number to fill out and submit applications online. All students who do not fill out a meal application to qualify for free or reduced meal prices will pay full price for meals during 2023-2024 school year. Paper applications will be by request only.
The Overton County School Nutrition Program (SNP) offers breakfast, lunch, after-school snacks, and summer feeding programs to all enrolled students. The School Nutrition Department is striving to offer tasty meals that meet the new tough federal nutrition standards, ensuring that meals are healthy, well-balanced and provide students with the nutrition needed to be successful at school. School meals offer students milk, fruits, vegetables, proteins and grains while meeting additional standards requiring:
Age-appropriate calorie limits
Larger servings of vegetables and fruits (student must take at least one serving of produce)
A wider variety of vegetables including dark greens, orange/red vegetables and legumes.
Fat-free or 1% milk (flavored milk must be fat-free)
More whole grain
Less sodium
School meals are a great value when compared to local restaurant pricing, better nutritionally than "fast food" take out, and convenient for busy family schedules.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is my Child's Student ID number?
The Student ID Number (or Skyward number) is a unique number assigned by Overton County Schools when your child registers. It is a seven digit number that is unique to your child within Overton County Schools and it will never change. This unique seven digit number can be obtained by calling the office of the school where your child attends.
2. Can I pay online?
Yes! You will need your child's Student ID number, since the online payment center verifies the student's lunch account using this unique ID number assigned to your child. The online payment center is at https://www.k12paymentcenter.com/
Parents can make payments anytime that is convenient, view when purchases were made, what food items were purchased, etc.
The online payment center also has a parent manual you can download for more information and a Help/FAQ section as well.
3. If I add money to my Child's account online, can I still send in a check or cash to the lunchroom manager?
Yes! Money can be added by whichever method is most convenient for your family.
My child has a food allergy. Who do I contact? You can call your child's school, or send a note to the front office, teacher, or cafeteria manager informing them of your child's food allergy. A list of acceptable foods your child eats at home is also very helpful. You must also fill out the required Meal Modification Form.
Will I need a doctor's statement? Yes. This helps staff to better accommodate your child's needs. The more information about your child's condition and their needs, the better.
