Donations for meal account balances
Nutrition Services accepts donations as a safety net for students in grades K-12 who do not have sufficient funds in their accounts due to family circumstances beyond their control. Using these funds for students is a temporary solution until other arrangements can be made to assist the child and family on a more permanent basis. No student is denied a meal, regardless of the status of the family’s account balance.
Tax-deductible donations for meal account balance debt relief are accepted year-round from individuals or groups. You may also make a donation directly to your child's school. To donate, contributions should be dropped off or mailed to:

Let’s Talk About It: What is mental health?
‘Mental health’ is a term we have heard a lot in the past few years. The U.S. Surgeon General and leading medical groups, like the American Academy of Pediatrics, have declared youth mental health a national emergency. But what exactly is mental health? Why are we hearing more about it now more than ever? When should I be worried about my child’s mental health? For answers to these questions and more, click HERE to read this week’s blog by our district mental and chemical health specialists.
