Student Lunch Balances

Parents may use the LINQ Connect mobile app or log on to linqconnect.com ( https://linqconnect.com/main ) to see what their child(ren) balance is. The best practice is to check weekly, as meals can accrue quickly after one week of eating breakfast and lunch.

Meal Charge Procedures
It is the desire of Henry County Schools that all students receive a healthy meal. Parents and/or guardians are responsible to provide the means for their child (ren) to be properly fed and ready to learn.

Full or reduced-price students are allowed up to $18.75 in charges at the Elementary level. In the event any student has reached the maximum charge limit, ($18.75 for Elementary) the student will be offered a courtesy meal. The courtesy meal will include a sandwich, fresh fruit, and milk.
