National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program
We are excited to share that all students will receive free school meals this school year and in all future years.
We will provide one free breakfast and one free lunch each full school day for your children, supporting them with nourishing and healthy meals to power through the school day! À la carte items and second meals may be available for purchase by students at their school.
The meal programs we participate in are supported by federal and state reimbursements based on household income and eligibility. Although meals are free of charge, families are encouraged to submit a meal application. The information collected on the meal application ensures our schools receive adequate funding and can offer your family additional benefits such as discounted fees.
