A healthy, well balanced meal is necessary for optimal performance. There is an art to providing meals that appeal to students but also make parents happy. We believe we’ve met the challenge.
BIA meals follow state and federal child nutrition guidelines and take the burden of food off of parents and families. Our breakfast and lunch are delivered or prepared on site daily by a third party so that food is always fresh, never microwaved.
Snacks and Treats
BIA is committed to supporting a holistic wellness plan for all stakeholders. When providing individual or group snacks and treats, please select healthy options that are low fat, free of dyes, artificial ingredients, and the addition of sweeteners.
While we love to celebrate each student’s special day, we want to ensure we are able to maximize instructional time. Birthday treats should be limited to one simple treat (one cupcake, one cookie, or one donut, etc.). Goodie bags should be reserved for distribution and celebrations OUTSIDE of the school day. Please coordinate any birthday or other celebrations with your student’s homeroom teacher in advance.
Remember… BIA is a NUT FREE school
Meals at BIA
BIA students have the option of bringing a lunch from home (BIA is a nut-free school, so no nuts please) or obtaining a lunch from our onsite lunch partner, SLA Management. Due to staff, safety, and Federal guidelines food deliveries for student lunches are prohibited.
BIA is pleased to announce that will be using SLA Management as our food service provider, preparing and serving both lunch and breakfast on site. SLA is a leading provider of K–12 school food services, delivering tailored meals, kitchen solutions, and program management to the unique needs of charter and private schools. With a custom approach that prioritizes personalization, we are more than a food vendor — we are helping shape the future of school dining.
We are pleased to announce that we will be utilizing MyPaymentsPlus for cafeteria purchases, as well as all other school fees.

Free and Reduced Meals
As a Georgia public school, BIA offers free and reduced meals as part of our federally funded programming. Students wishing to apply should complete the linked applications (English and Spanish) and forward to FRAM@biaschool.org.
One application per household must be completed annually at the beginning of each school year. One application may be used for all students attending BIA. All applications must include one of the following:
- A Federal or Georgia Case No. ( SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case no.) OR

Once applications have been processed a letter will be sent to the parent or guardian applicant with the eligibility status. Students that are approved participants will be eligible to receive a standard free or reduced-price meal for each meal window offered per day. Please note: upgrades or additional portions (this includes additional slices of pizza), additional or upgraded beverages, snacks, and other add-ons will be billed to the student account and are the responsibility of parents.
