Process for purchasing a replacement Z Pass has CHANGED!
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at McKenzie County School District #1.
Meal Prices
Grab and Go Items
Grab-and-go items will be available to students in grades 6–12 at an additional cost, even if they are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. Families may turn off the ability for a student to charge grab-and-go items. If a family wants to disable the ability to charge these items, please contact the district office or Becky Meuchel, Food Service Coordinator, at Becky.Meuchel@k12.nd.us.
Online Payments
Make online payments to a lunch account in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal.
Maintain a Positive Balane
We kindly ask that you do not allow your account to become negative at any time during the school year. Families of returning students will see positive/negative meal balances rolled forward. Families who have no students returning can request a refund to be processed or donate the funds to another lunch account that is in need. Requests for refunds outside the regular checkout form must be received by June 10th of the recently completed school year or within two weeks of checkout, whichever comes first. Any money left in an inactive account will be donated to another lunch account.
For the 2026–2027 school year, a negative lunch account balance is NOT allowed. This applies to both students and staff. Grab-and-go items will be denied to students and staff when the lunch account is at $0.
It is your responsibility to monitor the account transactions and balance. Log in to the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to access your student(s) account.
Free and Reduced-Price Meals
Students who are approved for free and reduced-priced meals are allowed breakfast and lunch at no cost. We encourage you to apply online. A paper version is also available. You will be notified with the results of your application as soon as it has been processed. Same day for online applications. Three to four days for the paper version. Instructions on how to fill out the applications are available along with the financial income guidelines.
We do our best to work with any family that may be having financial difficulties. Please make sure to apply for free or reduced meals if you think you may not be able to keep your family's lunch account positive. Please feel free to contact Becky Meuchel at any time.

The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential childcare institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches for children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946. The purpose of this law is in the introduction "as a measure of national security, to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children and to encourage the domestic consumption of nutritious agricultural commodities and other foods."
