The District Food Service will be participating in the "Healthy School Meals for All" program. We
want to share some essential information with all of you to ensure a smooth and successful
implementation of this program.
Free Meals:
Each child will be able to receive to one complimentary breakfast and one complimentary lunch
daily. These meals will continue to meet the USDA standards. Meals must include fruit,
vegetable, main entree, and milk in age-appropriate serving sizes.
Exclusions from Complimentary Meals:
Snacks are not included in this program, and any additional items beyond the provided
breakfast and lunch will need to be paid for out of the students' meal accounts. This includes but
is not limited to second entrees, extra milk, a la carte items, and first milks or salad bar trips for
students who bring lunch from home. Single milk will be charged .60 cents to the students’
account.
Payment for Additional Items:
If a student's meal account has insufficient funds, they will not be able to purchase any
additional items beyond the complimentary breakfast and lunch. High schoolers will have the
option to pay for a la carte items with cash.
Free and Reduced Application:
Even though the meals are provided for all students as part of the "Healthy School Meals for All"
program, we still require families to fill out the free and reduced application. It is essential to
complete and submit this application for approval, as Academic Fees will not be waived without
an approved application.
Student IDs and Payment:
Students at all levels must come to the cashier with their student IDs to be entered into the
system. This is how the District will receive payment for the meals taken. It is crucial that
students remember to bring their IDs daily to facilitate this process.
Online Students:
Please note that the "Healthy School Meals for All" program does not extend to online students.
Students attending classes remotely do not qualify for these complimentary meals.
We are excited about the benefits the "Healthy School Meals for All" program brings to our
students and community. By providing nutritious meals, we hope to contribute to the overall
health and academic success of our students. Your cooperation in adhering to the guidelines
mentioned above is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to the District Food
Service office.
