Chartwells Food Management provides healthy meals for our district students and staff. Menus follow the USDA recommended nutrition guidelines, featuring whole grains, lean proteins, low-fat dairy, and fruits and vegetables to support healthy, balanced eating. 

Scroll over a menu item to see the nutritional information, including ingredients. You can also select the language in which you would like to view the menu by selecting the language button in the top right corner. If your child has an allergy and you would like the list of allergens, please contact the Director of Dining Services. Gluten-free menu options are also available.

Our food service department provides parents and guardians with a secure online payment service called PaySchools Central. This website allows parents to deposit money directly into a child’s school meal account and view balance/purchase information for the past ninety days. Payments may also be made at the school by cash or check payable to MTBOE Cafeteria.

Money credited to lunch accounts and not used during the year will roll over to the following year. Any money remaining in the account after a student has left the Montville Township Public School District is non-refundable and is considered forfeited.

To transfer funds to a sibling's account, please contact Marcus Crawford.

At the Montville Township Public Schools, we recognize the problem of food insecurity. Food insecurity can make it difficult for a child to learn and grow. As part of our commitment to our students and community, we offer free lunch to qualifying families.

All families are encouraged to submit an application for free meals. Qualifying families will receive free school meals.

The district will provide free lunch benefits to eligible elementary, middle, and high school students based on a completed copy of the application for free meals.

If you believe that you are eligible to receive benefits, you can apply for them online. To do so, please visit the Parent Access section and look for the Student Data Forms.

You must complete the entire application form.  If any information is left blank, your application will be returned to you.

In addition to the application form, you must also submit proof of income. You can do this by uploading one or more of the following documents in the Upload Documents for Income Eligibility Assistance section of Parent Access:

• Two (2) consecutive pay stubs from all working members of your household, indicating the total Gross Pay or;

• Your FULL Notification of Eligibility letter from Morris County if you receive assistance (SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR, or;

• If you are self-employed, your latest tax return, including your Schedule C.

After you submit the form and documents, your eligibility status will be reviewed and determined.

Please note that this is a family application; you do not need to complete a separate form for each school level.

If you have any questions or need more information, please feel free to contact the Free Lunch Coordinator.

Please contact your student's school regarding their offerings.
