Nutritious School Meals Are Now Free for All Students.
Parents, let your school help with meal prep! You can save time and stretch your household budget by participating in school meal programs. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is extending free meals to all students through June 2022, regardless of household income. This means your child can get free school breakfast and lunch each day. Participating helps both families and our school. More participation means more kids eating nutritious foods and more funding for our school’s nutrition program.
Free and Reduced Applications will not need to be completed for the 2021-2022 school year. All students will eat for Free.
