Food Services

Welcome Staff & Students!!

We are extremely excited about the changes that are happening this year as we go from the "Old School" cafeteria vibe to the new "Food Court" style atmosphere. Times have changed so why shouldn't we?! Our hope is that our exceptional service and fresh, wholesome, delicious food will bring you back day after day. We offer a wide variety of choices because we want everyone to go back to class full and happy! And don't forget...ALL STUDENTS GET A BREAKFAST AND A LUNCH FOR FREE!!! 

Breakfast and Lunch Meals 2024-25

The HJUHSD Food Services Department provides students and staff with meals daily at Hanford High, Hanford West High, Sierra Pacific High, Earl F. Johnson High, and Community Day School. Meals offered are well-balanced, nutritional, and meet the requirements of the School Breakfast and National School Lunch programs under the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010. 

HJUHSD participates in the Community Eligibility Provision, which allows all students to receive Breakfast and Lunch meals at no charge, regardless of eligibility. A meal application is not required, but parents are still encouraged to create an account and complete the Alternative Income Form annually. This information has a direct impact on funding for your student's school and helps determine eligibility to receive additional benefits like fee waivers and access to special programs. 

Breakfast is served during the morning break and lunch is served during the lunch period. Students can purchase drinks with cash or pre-pay at any register with cash or check. Parents may also utilize SchoolCafe to add money to their student's account. 

Staff members may purchase meals and/or drinks with cash or pre-pay at any register with cash or check. Staff may also utilize SchoolCafe to pay for meals and/or drinks. Breakfast meals for adults are $4.50 and lunch meals are $6.00.

Earned Income Tax Credit Act Information Communication

Based on your annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the Federal Government (Federal EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The Federal EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Federal EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, low-income housing, or most Temporary Assistance For Needy Families payments. Even if you do not owe federal taxes, you must file a federal tax return to receive the Federal EITC. Be sure to fill out the Federal EITC form in the Federal Income Tax Return Booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive the Federal EITC, including information on how to obtain the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 797 or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through its website at www.irs.gov.

You may also be eligible to receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (California EITC) starting with the calendar year 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The California EITC is treated in the same manner as the Federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit eligibility requirements and how to obtain the necessary California forms and get help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board at 1-800-852-5711 or through its website at www.ftb.ca.gov.
