Food/Nutrient-Based Production Report (Oct. 2025)
District 58 partners with Quest Food Management to offer lunch each school day at Herrick Middle School and O’Neill Middle School as part of the federal government’s National School Lunch Program. The lunch program has regulations that must be followed in all aspects of our operation, including USDA dietary guidelines and nutritional requirements. These requirements include whole grain foods, fruits and vegetables every day, only fat-free or low-fat milk, reduced saturated fat, reduced sodium, and no trans fats.
Our goal is to nurture student well-being by appreciating healthy school meals, choosing nutritious foods, and adopting a healthy lifestyle. To accomplish that, we provide menus that meet or exceed federal standards, innovative dining environments and wellness education.
2025-26 Middle School Menus
*Please note all menus are subject to change without notice as national manufacturing shortages continue to impact food supply.

2025-26 Price List and Payment (Middle School Only)
Lunch meals = $5.50
Reduced price lunch = $0.40
Snacks a la carte: Students may also purchase individual snacks a la carte, which all meet the USDA Smart Snack guidelines. Students must have money on their account or cash in order to purchase any of the snacks or a la carte items. Charging or overdrawing accounts for the purchase of these items is not allowed.
PushCoin: District 58 operates a cashless system for school lunches called PushCoin. Parents can fund student lunch accounts online at any time using an electronic check or credit/debit card. Students pay by scanning their school ID. The payment system will automatically deduct the lunch from the student’s lunch account and record what was purchased. Parents can login at any time to see balances, fund the account, or see what their child has purchased. The PushCoin system eliminates the need to handle cash and helps greatly with lunchroom efficiency

Interactive Food Map
Families in Illinois who are eligible can now find free food or meal programs with a new interactive tool from the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and Illinois SNAP. The tool can filter location of the food or meals, school and summer meal programs, and grocery stores and farmers markets accepting SNAP/LINK or WIC and Senior vouchers. A new filtering option allows users to find exactly which meals are offered at a location, including breakfast, lunch, snacks, supper, and weekend meals, including if the meals are offered free or at reduced prices and who is eligible.
Food matters because we love to eat. But it matters even more knowing the food choices we make directly impact the energy and focus we need to propel us forward, help us succeed and keep us healthy. But for many of us, eating healthy is hard to do. It takes planning, it takes time—it even takes the creativity and willingness to try new foods and open up to new flavors.
Our team of chefs and dietitians know how challenging eating healthy can be. But they also know that discovering healthy food can be fun, empowering and rewarding. So, we’re here to help you discover what healthy food can do for you and to help you enjoy all the positive things that can happen when you start ‘feeding your potential’.
