Lunch Account
Student lunches are $3.35 per day. A carton of milk is 35 cents.
Students who wish to purchase hot lunch or a carton of milk must present their student IDs in the lunch line, and the card is swiped to deduct the purchase from the students' accounts. Students may not use other students' IDs (even applies to siblings, due to federal lunch reporting requirements).
School Payment Portal is being offered as a safe, secure and convenient way for parents/guardians of students to manage lunch payments. You will have the opportunity to track purchases, create reminders and set up automatic payments. If you do not want to pay online and would like to continue sending in money with your student, you are still able to create a username and password to track your students’ purchases and see how much money is on the account.
Below is a guide to setting up your student’s account. Any questions or concerns with a student’s account should be directed to Todd Grundman email: [email protected]

During the school year, funds can also be added to your lunch account without incurring the convenience fee by placing a check or cash in the provided dropbox located on the east wall of the cafeteria (by the doors). Your balance online will reflect payments made in this way when they are entered by LL personnel. Please note: Any payments made in this way must be placed in an envelope and clearly labeled with the student's name and the amount enclosed. All payments must be placed in the dropbox before period 3 or they will not be recorded until the next day. Payments will not be accepted in the lunch line.
Free and Reduced Lunches
LLHS participates in this program, and your family can at any time during the year, apply as your needs may require. Reduced lunch price is 40 cents per lunch. Funds are taken out of the lunch accounts described above.
As part of an upgrade to our lunch program software, you are now able to apply for free and reduced lunch online at www.LunchApplication.com (Click "Apply Now" ) See the PDF below for a bit more explanation.
If you're not comfortable applying online, please contact Mr. Todd Grundman and we will arrange for someone to assist you in your application.

Wisconsin State Tax Deduction for K-12 Tuition
(Please note that in the following, the term “private school” includes Lakeside as well as our Lutheran grade schools.)
Families may use this deduction if they claim a pupil who is enrolled in kindergarten or grades one through twelve in a private school as a dependent for federal income tax purposes on his or her tax return. It is important to note that this is not a tax credit, but a deduction (see Jagler letter below). Any person who pays taxes in Wisconsin and pays private school tuition for dependents is eligible to receive the deduction by filing Schedule PS with their Wisconsin tax return. Please note this is a tax deduction and not a credit. Depending on your income and tax bracket, the tax deduction could save you up to 7% of the tuition paid. Please consult your tax advisor for more details. School staff is not allowed to give you tax advice. The information in this memo is for general guidance only and does not consist of legal or tax advice of any kind.
Families can print their tuition receipt from within their SmartTuition accounts. See links at the bottom of this related page.
