Thank you to those of you who came to our Veteran's Day Assembly. We had a wonderful turn out and it was a wonderful way to honor our Veterans'.💙

Child Nutrition: Meal Debt
We have had some incredible donations to make most of our lunch debts accounts current! Please use this opportunity to pay the 'good vibes' and 'kindness' forward in someway. 🫶
Our nutritional services staff are working diligently to communicate with parents regarding student meal balances. When a student’s balance gets low, an email is generated to keep parents informed. In the event a student's balance moves into the negative, emails are sent three times a week, statements are mailed monthly, and parents receive a call from either child nutrition, the school or both.
Beginning November 1st, if a student has a negative balance of $50 or more, he/she will no longer be able to choose a breakfast or lunch option. Instead, the student will be given a breakfast/lunch option that meets all USDA guidelines. This meal will include all of the necessary components of a balanced meal (such as protein, grains, fruit, vegetable and milk). The meal is a regularly offered menu option and is available to all students.
You May Qualify for the Free/Reduced Price Meal Benefit
Your child may be eligible to receive free or reduced price meals. You may qualify if your household’s annual gross income is within the limits identified by the Federal Income Eligibility Standards.
Our online application can be found on our website and paper copies are available upon request. Only one application needs to be filled out per household. Remember - each year you must submit a new application.
Please contact Becky Elmore, Child Nutrition Supervisor, at 208-773-1625 with your questions regarding the school lunch or breakfast program.
