Food and Nutrition Update:

For the last two school years, school meals were free for all students. Congress has not extended these waivers for 2022-2023. Students attending our school will be charged for meals based on their household benefit status.

If you think your household qualifies for free or reduced-priced meals, you are encouraged to complete an online meal application. Meal prices are available on the District Food & Nutrition Services website.
