About the National School Lunch Program

Our school system takes part in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), a federally assisted meal program that provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free breakfast and lunch to children on school days. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.

Because every school in our system qualifies for the Community Eligible Provision (CEP), that means free meals for all students, regardless of household income.

Allergies and diet modifications

If your child has a food allergy, complete a new Diet Modification Form each school year, or any time there's a medical change, and turn it in to your child's Front Office.

Pay for meals online

Deposit money, check balances, and get low-balance email alerts through our partner, LINQ Connect.
