To help reduce meal debt, North Bend Central Public Schools will be implementing Lunch Extras Punch Cards at both buildings beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.
Each punch card costs $20 and includes 10 lunch extras. Once all 10 punches have been used, a new punch card must be purchased to continue purchasing eligible lunch extras. Each card will be assigned to the student who purchased it and will be kept in the lunchroom at their school.
Please note that extra milks and bottled water are not included on the Lunch Extras Punch Card. These items will continue to be charged directly to the student's lunch account.
To help eliminate meal debt, students with a negative lunch account balance will not be able to purchase a punch card or receive lunch extras until their lunch account has a positive balance.
Punch Card Purchase Opportunities
Parents may purchase Lunch Extras Punch Cards at the following back-to-school events:
Back2School Blast (Middle & High School):
August 6
Elementary Open House:
August 12
Once school begins, punch cards may also be purchased in each school's office.
We appreciate your partnership as we work to keep student meal accounts current while continuing to provide a convenient option for purchasing lunch extras. If you have questions about your student's lunch account or the new punch card program, please contact Angela Tauber at atauber@nbtigers.org or 652-3268.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to a great school year!
