Food Services
Good nutrition and academic success go hand in hand!
Our Food Services Department consists of a team of food and nutrition professionals who are dedicated to students’ health, well-being, and ability to learn. We support academic success by providing healthy meal choices while promoting lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
School Meal Information
The CSDE program that offered free breakfast for all students has ended. All meals, breakfast and lunch, will be on a pay per meal basis in 2025–2026 dependent on your eligibility status.
Is your family eligible for free/reduced meals? We encourage everyone to fill out an application, located below, and find out.
The 2025–2026 application for free or reduced meals is available on the district website under the food services information.
Nutritional Excellence
All of our school campuses participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The NSLP is a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low cost or free meals to qualifying students. The food and beverages we sell or serve on our campuses meet the state and federal requirements, which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We encourage families to apply for meal benefits by completing a Free and Reduced Meal Application.
Breakfast
School breakfast ensures our students start the school day well-nourished and ready to learn. For a reasonable price, your child receives whole grains, fruit, and protein—all the ingredients needed to fuel their brain for optimal learning.
Free and Reduced Lunch
We participate in the federal free and reduced lunch program. If you believe you qualify for benefits, please complete the application below. Participants may qualify at any time during the school year.
