St. John's Lane Elementary School's school menu can be accessed through the LINQ Connect portal or mobile app. Families do not need a LINQ account to view menus, which are available to the public.
HCPSS participates in the National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. Students from households that meet federal income guidelines are eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals. Parents/guardians must submit a new application every school year to maintain their student’s eligibility. To apply, go to the HCPSS FARMs webpage.
Breakfast and lunch are free for students who are enrolled in the Free and Reduced Meals program. For all other students, breakfast is $2.00 and lunch is $2.80 per meal.
Meal payments may be made via credit card using the LINQ Connect portal. On-site payments and prepayments may be made using cash or check. Parents/guardians will need to create an account to make online payments to their child’s meal account, monitor their child’s account, schedule automatic recurring payments, set up low balance alerts, submit a Free and Reduced Meals program application, and more.
Information on the HCPSS wellness policy and commitment to quality is available online.
Health Services information can be found online and will be continually updated. All families, students, staff and visitors should conduct daily health checks prior to entering any HCPSS building and/or school bus. Details, including infection control protocols for communicable diseases like COVID-19, are available online.
Please note that health and safety protocols are subject to change, pending guidance and recommendations from federal, state and local health officials, among other sources.
The Health Room is no longer able to provide a change of clothing for students to borrow when they have a clothing issue. Please add a weather appropriate change of clothing in a zip lock bag to be kept in your student's backpack. Accidents, spills and clothing malfunctions happen to students at all grade levels. Having a change of clothes available will minimize missed instruction while students wait for parents/guardians to bring something from home.
Thank you for your support,
SJLES Health Room
The school system does not carry medical insurance for accidents that occur at school, including non-sport related injuries, such as trips and falls, physical education injuries, and recess/playground injuries. Thus, parents are encouraged to enroll students in the accident insurance program offered through HCPSS.
