Free and Reduced Meal Information

  • A staff member serves pears

    For the 2022-2023 school year, the District became eligible for district-wide status under the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), which provided both breakfast and lunch to all students at no charge, regardless of location.  This spring, the District had to requalify for CEP Status. 

    Not all schools qualify for CEP and will transition to the traditional National School Lunch Program (NSLP).  This means that in order to receive free or reduced-price meals for lunch, families will need to complete a Free and Reduced Meal Application.  Applications will be accepted after July 1, 2025.  Breakfast continues to be free for all students.
