IMPORTANT UPDATE: Indiana SUN Bucks is a new program created to help combat hunger in our communities.
Summer EBT, known as Indiana SUN Bucks, is designed to provide money to households with school-aged children for the purchase of food throughout the summer. Households will receive $120 for each child that is currently eligible for free or reduced-price meals to be spent during the summer months. Unsure if your children qualify? Call us at 219-362-8823 and we will help! Benefit EBT cards will be mailed to the address listed in Skyward as of May 1st. Make sure it is up to date!

Important Update on School Nutrition Services
Our food service software provider, Titan/Linq, is experiencing technical difficulties that have resulted in slow performance and unstable transactions across multiple school districts.
As a result of these technical difficulties, the availability of a la carte items at the Kesling Campus and La Porte High School will be temporarily discontinued. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to establish a timeline as to when this problem will be fixed. Please be assured that we are working closely with Titan/Linq to expedite the resolution of these technical issues and return our nutrition service to its regular functionality.
Once the technical issues are resolved, we will promptly resume the sale of a la carte items and we will notify you immediately.
Despite these challenges, we will continue to serve breakfast and lunch to all students every day. For today, aside from the regular breakfast and lunch items, we will only offer water as an a la carte option at Kesling. At LPHS, the availability of a la carte items will be significantly limited. We want to clearly communicate that starting tomorrow there will be no a la carte items available at either building until the technical issue has been resolved.
Our top priority remains the well-being and nutritional needs of our students. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter, and want to reassure you that we are doing everything in our power to resolve this issue as swiftly as possible.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Feel free to contact us if you have any concerns.
