ALLERGEN ICONS 

Icons for the top nine allergens are visible in our dining areas at points of service and also listed next to each menu item in FD MealPlanner. If your student needs further assistance for a serious food allergy, please contact the Food Service Director at your school.  We cannot eliminate the risk of cross-contact or guarantee that any item is free of allergens due to the nature of our kitchens and our reliance on suppliers for accurate information. 

Our kitchens are allergy aware, not allergy free. Our full allergen statement can be found at: www.questfms.com/allergens

All District 67 students attending school during the lunch period eat in the school lunchroom under supervision. Students may bring their lunch from home or purchase a lunch. The lunch program begins on the first full day of school and is in operation each full day school is in session. Menus are  posted online or can be viewed by downloading the FD MealPlaner App to access Weekly Menus.  

Scan this QR code to download the FD MealPlanner App on your smartphone or visit www.fdmealplanner.com and search for your school to get started. Set up an account profile for each student to access menus quickly. 

Elementary students may order the meal listed on their monthly school menu. Deer Path Middle School students can select either the meal listed on their monthly school menu, or the "a la carte" selections.

Load funds to your MySchoolBucks dining account for easy transactions. 

The official payment software for your school is MySchoolBucks (www.myschoolbucks.com), which allows you to add funds to your student's account, set-up automatic replenishments, and receive notifications. Keeping this balance positive is an important way to create a seamless dining experience for your student, and setting up an account allows you to view the details of your student's dining transactions. 

Students in our elementary schools make their lunch selection in homeroom each morning. At lunch, each student will locate their student ID in the cafeteria and the cashier will debit their account after service.

Deer Path Middle School students will swipe their student ID at the lunch line, the cashier will verify the student’s picture and the account will be debited. We are encouraging all middle school students to be responsible with their IDs, but if one is forgotten or lost, ID numbers and names can be searched on the computerized Point of Sale (POS) system to ensure the student has lunch for that day. Replacement IDs can be issued in the middle school office – the first replacement is free but subsequent ones will cost $5 each.

The District's "charge" system will be implemented when your student's account is overdrawn at Deer Path. If your student’s account is overdrawn, they will not be allowed to purchase a la carte items such as beverages, chips and snacks.  We will allow students to purchase a meal regardless of balance (this is for elementary and middle school).  We suggest you set up auto payments and/or low balance alerts so your account does not go negative.

Welcome to Scouts Café and The Grind.

The Scout Café is the main area to get a variety of wholesome scratch-made food items. It is open at 7:00am to 9:00am for breakfast and opens back up at 10:30am until 1:00pm for lunch.

The Grind is a full-service coffee shop that also serves food. The Grind opens at 7:30am until 3:30pm.

Students will need to use their school ID to make any purchases. If a student forgets their ID, they must go to the Technology Help Desk (located in the basement) to get a new one. Replacement IDs cost $10. If a student has not yet received their student ID, they will be able to pick it up on their first day of school.   

Parents/guardians, please go to www.myschoolbucks.com to add funds to your student’s meal account so they can purchase items in our two locations. You can also send a check or cash with your student and we can add it to their account at the register. There is also a help video link for first time users: www.myschoolbucks.com/ver2/help/gethelpvideos. We will accept  cash and have the ability to enter the students' ID number (in an emergency), but this will be at one register only. Students need to have their ID.

Parents will also be able to view the monthly menu at www.fdmealplanner.com. Menus may change, based on the availability of items.
