Food at Burr and Burton

Healthy Body, Healthy Mind - Real Food For All

The Rowland Center is the home to BBA’s Student Center which is the hub for food service and is an inviting space for students to gather. 
 
Burr and Burton Academy’s Food Program mission of Healthy body, Healthy mind, Real food for all is outlined in three core values. The food served at BBA will be real, nutrient-dense, and use ingredients that are procured in a socially responsible way. Burr and Burton Academy operates a full-service cafeteria and a build your own bowl station in the Student Center.
 
BBA is committed to a meals program that provides delicious healthy meals, teaches students about our food system, expands its use of locally sourced food while developing community. 
 
In the 2024-25 school year, Burr and Burton will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. All enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the school year. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. 
 
Instead of application, the district will still be requesting Household Income Forms from households with a student participating in the CEP; however, receipt of free breakfast and lunch meals does not depend on returning it. Completing the application is still necessary for other programs like AP Exam fee reduction, SAT and ACT fee waivers and technology use fee waivers. To complete the form, login into your On Campus Portal. The form is located under "Files and Forms” and named "2024-2025 BRSU Household Income Information". Students identified through the Direct Certification list provided by AOE will automatically be able to receive fee waiver benefits. If you have any questions, please contact Diane Waite at dwaite@burrburton.org. 
 
 
Students may also purchase a la carte items from the Student Center location by setting up a lunch account through MealTime. BBA issues student account numbers linked to their prepaid MealTime lunch account.  The number is found in the student’s portal.  All lunch account transactions will require the student to enter their personal school account number or swipe their student school ID. Families can send in a check or cash or set up a MealTime account to be linked to student’s accounts. Drop off boxes will also be set up in the cafeteria for this purpose as well. In January 2025, BBA food service will shift to cashless operations.

  • Create A Mealtime Account

    Burr and Burton uses a service provided by MealTime that makes it possible for parents to make credit or debit card deposits into the student’s cafeteria account, view account balances, and view purchase history over the Internet. Setting up an online account is strongly encouraged if for no other reason than for checking student balances.

    Follow this link for instructions on how to set up a Mealtime Account.

    Parents may set a low balance notification indicator which will notify them when the account reaches a predetermined level. If accounts are not replenished by the time the account reaches zero, the account will be suspended and the student will not be able to charge until the account is refilled. Families with more than one student have the option of sharing balances so that if Student A is short of funds the account will draw from Student B. Please let the Business Office know if you would like to activate this feature.

    Please note that Mealtime balances are not transferrable from one school to another.
