Food4Kids Program
Pacific Ridge Elementary Families,
I would like to bring your attention to a program designed for children who may not have enough food on the weekends. When children are hungry, they aren't able to focus on the job of learning. The Food4Kids Seaside Program in available to help! The volunteers at Food4Kids are ready to provide a backpack or bag filled with food on the last school day before each weekend.
During distance learning our buses will be delivering the food bags on Fridays. If you are interested in enrolling your children in this program, please fill out this form https://forms.gle/TEgAzJ1hSrfkLB2N6 by Friday, October 2nd, 2020. The program will begin delivering food on Friday, October 9th, 2020.
Please call our school office if you have any questions!

FREE Breakfast & Lunch K-5
Updated Delivery Times!
SSD – FREE Grab & Go Breakfast/Lunch Meals for Ages 0-18 UPDATED and starting 9/21/2020
For daily drop off locations https://www.seaside.k12.or.us/foodservice
All meal route delivery is between 10:30 am-11:30 am, Monday-Friday. Two routes have extended delivery times: Black Bus 11:27 am-12:21 pm and Purple Bus 11:29 am – 12:20 pm.
During CDL, children can enjoy meals at no charge through a federally funded nutrition program open to all kids aged 0-18 years. No applications are necessary to get a breakfast/lunch sack. All children and teens are welcome. USDA has granted a waiver to the Oregon Department of Education so the Seaside School District can provide a grab-n-go meal service (breakfast and lunch) due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meals are served at a designated site and children and/or an authorized adult may pick up meals for consumption off site. Only one grab-n-go meal is allowable per child; however, an authorized adult may request additional meals for children that were unable to come to the delivery location. Adults need to provide a written note to the school district meal staff requesting the number of meals the child is allowed to pick up on a daily basis for other 0-18 children in the household but not at the meal stop.
Please help us continue to provide free breakfast and lunch to all of our K-5 students!
Pacific Ridge Elementary School will continue to participate in a Universal Lunch and School Breakfast Program for the current school year (2020-2021). All students enrolled at the Elementary school may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge to them.
For the last two years families have not been required to fill out Free and Reduced Applications. This year, it will be critical for the future of this program that all of our families complete applications. Use the link to complete your Household application for Free and Reduced Meals or you can get a paper copy when you pick up your child's Chromebook & Learning Kit.
