As of October 1, 2022, and through the end of the 2022-2023 School Year, schools participating in the School Breakfast Program will be able to serve students a school breakfast at no charge.
This change is only applicable to the School Breakfast Program in the 2022-2023 School Year and does not affect a student’s eligibility status for lunch (free, reduced, and paid, respectively).
2022 - 2023 School Year Meal Information
In an effort to keep our students safe, expedite them through the lunch lines, and minimize contact with cash handling, we are encouraging parents to add funds to student lunch accounts via School Café (www.schoolcafe.com) for students to use to purchase a la carte snacks.
