Bethel Park meal prices hold steady for 2026-27 school year

Bethel Park School District's cafeteria meal prices will remain unchanged for the 2026-27 school year, with lunch priced at $2.75 for elementary students, $2.90 for middle school students and $3.05 for high school students. A $1 surcharge applies to tiered lunches featuring made-to-order items such as deli sandwiches and chicken wings.

All Bethel Park students will continue to receive free breakfast daily through Pennsylvania's School Breakfast Program. No application is required.

Each day, students can choose from two hot entrees along with daily staples including a salad bar, fresh fruit, vegetables, milk, and other sides. Monthly menus are posted on the Food Services page of the district website at bpsd.org.

Bethel Park cafeterias operate on a cashless system. Parents can add funds and track their child's purchases through the PaySchools Central app, linked through SchoolCafe on the district's Food Services page. Students who pay with cash will not receive change — any remaining balance will be deposited directly into their PaySchools Central account.

Families who believe their child may qualify for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program are encouraged to apply. Applications are available on the Food Services page of the district website or can be picked up at the district's Business Office, 5800 Murray Ave., during normal business hours. Families must reapply annually — eligibility does not carry over from the previous school year.
