Universal Meals

Welcome to the 2026-27 School Year! This will be the fifth year that the Hillsborough City School District provides free breakfast and lunch to all students who request a meal under California’s Universal Meals mandate. We are continuing with Ordo as our Vended Meals Provider for a second year. District staff will continue to calibrate student meal preferences and place a monthly bulk order for the students accordingly, making it hassle-free to our parents and guardians.  

All allergy information provided in summer re-registration will be imported. If there are any changes to allergies after you complete the re-registration, please notify your school’s Administrative Assistant to update your child(ren)’s record in PowerSchool.

Everyday there are two to three entrees for lunch. The menu will also be posted at the entry of the lunch area at each school site. Please review the menu with your child and on the days they do not wish to have school meals, pack them one from home. 

For other information, including questions concerning the Free and Reduced Lunch Applications, please refer to the Universal Meals FAQs

Here at HCSD, we strive to provide nutritious and compliant meals to our students, so that they are well nourished to receive the wonderful education HCSD is dedicated to providing!
