Yes, school breakfast and lunch are still free for all students! However, you MUST fill out the free-and-reduced application (link below) in order to receive this benfit. This benefit for all of our students is through USDA Food and Nutrition Services. “Ms. Judy” needs to estimate numbers of students who will be taking hot lunch. Teachers will be asking children who would like a hot lunch in the morning every day, until further notice.

Children With Special Needs: If a doctor has determined that your child has a disability, and the disability would prevent the child from eating the regular school meal, the school will make any substitution prescribed  by a licensed physician at no extra charge. The physician's statement, including prescribed diet and/or substitution, must be submitted to the food service department in the superintendent’s office.  For further information, please call Judy.
