    HLE Cafe Information
    The Pinellas County School District participates in the National School Lunch/School Breakfast Program. Nutritious meals are served every school day. All meals served must meet patterns established by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture.
    Meal Times: Breakfast 8:15-8:35 Student Lunches 10:20-12:55
    Breakfast will continue to be free for all students. Lunch cost is $2.25

    Our Highland Lakes students will continue to have a variety of fruits and vegetables to choose from in our cafeteria for breakfast and lunch. Students will still be required to choose a minimum of one serving of a fruit or one vegetable for a complete breakfast or lunch meal. There will now be a new maximum of up to two servings of fruit and two servings of vegetables.  Posters are up in our Panther cafeteria to notify students of these changes.
