Food and Nutrition Services
Children need healthy meals to learn. Page Unified School District will be participating inthe National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. As part of this program, Lake View Primary, Desert View Intermediate, Page Middle School and Manson Mesa High School will offer healthy meals every school day at NO COST to the students due to the implementation of the Community Eligibility Provision for school year 2021-2022. Students will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a household application.
Page Unified School District #8 is happy to continue the Breakfast in the Classroom program for Preschool through 8th grade students. All students will have the opportunity to eat breakfast with their classmates in the classroom. The new program replaces our current breakfast service.

Online Payments
Tired of sending cash with your child every day for their school meals? Page Unified School District now has the ability to accept credit card payments at mySchoolBucks. It is a quick and convenient way to pay for your children's meals and not have to worry about them losing or spending their lunch money on something else. There is no limit to the amount of money you can add. However, convenience does come with a price - a $2.49 service charge per transaction is added to the total bill. That's how the company can provide the service at no charge to our school district.
The website accepts Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover. Page Unified School District still accepts cash or check payments at the school if you prefer not to use your credit card. (Information needed includes name of school your student attends and his/her identification number.)
