Free school meals through June 2021
The USDA has extended free school meals through the school year.
Reasons why you should take advantage of the free school meals being offered:
- It extends your food budget and saves you time prepping meals
- It’s comforting and familiar to your kids to have food from school
- It’s confidential and not only for low-income families
- You’re helping the local food service program stay financially afloat
- You’re helping the food program use up food inventory = less waste
You are not taking meals away from someone who needs it more.
Please complete this Meal Order Form to sign up for take-home or distance learning meals.
On-site meals do not require sign up.
Free or reduced applications
Even though free meals are available to all for this school year, it is still very important that families who may qualify for free or reduced-price meals complete the meal application as soon as possible.
The meal applications not only qualify your family for free meal benefits, but also provide additional benefits that may include discounts for: internet access, college application fees, sports/activities fees, and AP test registration fees.

Social Emotional Learning
Structure & Routine
Creating structures and routines are especially important when people are experiencing stressful challenges, unpredictability and uncertainty. Many people learn best from repetition and predictability. Establishing routines can also decrease frustration and stress. When we create structure, people will understand what is expected.
