Lunch Application and Benefits
-
Free and Reduced Meal Benefits for Students
A current USDA waiver allows our district to provide free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students through the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
We urge every family, regardless of income, to complete a USDA Lunch Application because doing so:
- Helps schools receive federal money for programs that support and impact all students
- High School students can receive the following benefits plus many others from College Boards:
- Waived and/or reduced fees on exams (SAT, PSAT, ACT, and AP)
- Unlimited score reports to send to colleges
- College application fees waived at participating colleges

New Charge Policy for High School Students
-
Effective 2015: No students will be allowed to charge a la carte items in the cafeteria. Parent(s) or guardian(s) of elementary, middle and high school students who must charge meals due to forgotten or lost meal money are responsible for repaying School Nutrition Services (SNS) for those meals within proscribed time periods. High school students will only be allowed to charge up to five (5) reimbursable meals. Once the fifth meal is charged, the high school student will not be allowed to charge additional meals until his or her account is fully paid.
