Our school provides healthy meals each day. The United States Department of Agriculture is allowing schools to provide meals for the 2021-22 school year through a provision of the National School Lunch Program called the Seamless Summer Option (SSO). A  waiver has been issued in order to support access to nutritious meals while minimizing potential exposure to COVD-19.  

Our school has chosen to use this waiver and operate the SSO which enables us to provide meals free of charge for all students. No application is required to receive this free meal benefit. 

However, your child(ren) may qualify for additional benefits such as reduced fees or the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (PEBT) which is a federal temporary emergency nutrition benefit that is loaded onto electronic cards for families to purchase food.  At public schools, your application also helps the school qualify for education funds and discounts.

You can apply ANYTIME throughout the school year, EVERY year!

IMPORTANT: 

• You need to apply EVERY YEAR, it doesn't carry over from the previous year.
  
  
• Once approved, you will receive a letter of your eligibility. You will need to provide a copy of this letter to your school office for reduced fees in other school-related programs, such as activity fees. Your school office can only obtain a copy of this letter through you. When you receive your letter, please keep it throughout the school year.
