Food Services
DC’s food services are outsourced to Nutrition Management, who will prepare meals for lunch and special events on both campuses from the Student Union dining hall located on the Upper Campus.
Early Childhood Center & Lower School
The ECC/LS food services program allows families to preorder specific meals from our food service kitchen located at the Upper Campus in the Student Union. Lower campus meals will be prepared per preordering requests and delivered fresh daily.
The menu will be posted monthly, and parents may preorder one week or one month at a time. Weekly orders need to be submitted by the end of the day on the Wednesday of the previous week.
Each meal order includes choice of main entree or alternate entree, dessert, and beverage.
Price:
Main entree meal -
$4.50 for students in grades PK2-2 (smaller portions);
$6.50 for students in grades 3-5
Alternate entree meal -
$4.50 for all students
Payment
The DC Dining Services operates as a cashless system. All parents should deposit funds for your students' lunches using the payment processor (MyPaymentsPlus). As students purchase meals, charges will be applied to the funds that were deposited. Lower campus student charges will be applied each day they receive the preordered meals. If you are new to MyPaymentsPlus, you will need to create an account. You will need your student's ID number. You can find your student's ID number in Blackbaud on your child's Contact Card (in the general information section on the left).
