What does this mean for you and your child(ren)? All enrolled students in our school district, regardless of income level, are eligible to receive a healthy school breakfast and school lunch at no charge each day. No further action is required of you. Your child(ren) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. The CEP is a new alternative to the traditional meal application process associated with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. CEP alleviates the burden on families by eliminating household applications, while helping schools reduce costs associated with collecting and processing those applications. A la carte and additional lunch extras will be charged to students’ school lunch accounts.

Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 am - 8:20 am in the cafeteria each morning. Breakfast is FREE to all students. It's a great way to start the day!

Cafeteria Information

The cafeteria offers a salad bar everyday for those who do not want the regular menu items. We use low-fat and low-cal dressings on your salads and we offer a large variety of items to choose from. This a great way to get your "5 a Day". The cafeteria offers 1% chocolate milk and 1% or skim white milk everyday. If someone has an allergy to milk, we offer a substitute with a note from a licensed physician. Students will be issued bar coded I.D. cards for hot lunch and milk purchases. Students in middle/high school are responsible for keeping track of their own cards. Elementary students' cards will be kept at school by their individual classroom teachers, and handed out to students each day. If your card is lost or damaged, please let the office know and a replacement card will be issued. A $5.00 replace fee will be charged the third time a card needs to be replaced. Charging Meals Policy: Parents are encouraged to prepay for meal purchases for up to a month or longer. It is not acceptable to treat your child’s lunch card as a credit card. A family should always have money in the account so your child is not charging lunches. When a family’s balance of $-25.00 is incurred, the student will be served an alternate reimbursable meal.
