We know that good nutrition and learning go hand in hand...
The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy lifestyle for lifelong nutrition and fitness habits.
All food and beverages sold or served at schools must meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
Meal Applications
This year families do not need to fill out an application to get free meals. However, we are asking for help from families who may qualify because meal applications are still important for school funding, low-cost utilities, discounts on camps, and SAT/PSAT/AP/ACT testing.
Did you know that you can fill out your application online? Visit the schoolcafe website to complete the application in privacy of your own home. Applications are available in English, Spanish and Vietnamese.
Factors considered in the application process are household size and total household income. household size is considered all persons, related or unrelated: Including parents, children, grandparents who live in your home and share living expenses.
The household income is the income each household member received last month before taxes - this includes wages, social security, pension, unemployment, welfare, child support, alimony, and any other cash income.
Foster Children - In certain cases, foster children are eligible for free and reduced-price qualitifcation, regardless of your income. If you have foster children living with you and want to free meals please contact:
