Breakfast will be served from 8-10:30am and lunch will be served from 11:30am-1 pm at these schools only:
Laura MacArthur Elementary
Lincoln Park Middle School
Lowell Elementary
Myers-Wilkins Elementary
Piedmont Elementary
Stowe Elementary
If you have questions, please call 218-336-8707.
And to answer a question we've gotten a lot, in the past couple years, during the pandemic, the district was allowed to offer free meals district wide. This summer the State of Minnesota has gone back to the original USDA guidelines based on area eligibility. They have a map drawn of Duluth based on the amount of Free and Reduced children in residence that designates the area eligible or not. Unfortunately, the eastern schools don't fall into the areas where we are allowed to have programs.
