Program Requirements:

• Operates on an offer vs. serve basis – schools must offer all 4 breakfast components daily:
  

1. Fruit/Vegetable

2. Milk

3. Protein

4. Grain
   

• To count as a free meal, students must take at least 3 components, and one must be a fruit or vegetable.

• Example: 2 fruits + milk = a meal.

• Effective August 27, 2025, YouTube will be blocked on all K–8 student devices.
  

• Why: While YouTube can be a valuable learning tool, it can also be a distraction and may expose students to inappropriate content if unsupervised.
  

• What stays the same:
  

• Teachers will still have YouTube access for classroom instruction via projection.
  

• Teachers may whitelist specific educational videos for students to view independently at school or home.
  

• In these cases, only teacher-approved YouTube resources will be accessible.

• Contact Office of Technology.

• 100% asynchronous virtual learning option for Grades K–12—ideal for students needing a flexible schedule.
  

• Fall 2026 registration open until September 4.
