Dear Winston Park Elementary School Parents,

Children need healthy meals to learn. Broward County Public Schools offer healthy, nutritious meals every school day. Breakfast is free to all students under the Universal-Free Breakfast Program; lunch is now FREE under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a non-pricing meal service option for schools and school districts in low-income areas. CEP allows the nation’s highest poverty schools and districts to serve breakfast and lunch at no cost to all enrolled students without collecting household applications. Instead, schools that adopt CEP are reimbursed using a formula based on the percentage of students categorically eligible for free meals based on their participation in other specific means-tested programs, such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

We are still encouraging families to apply for Free or Reduced-Price Meals, complete a meal application online at www.myschoolapps.com to maintain our Title 1 status. Funding from Title 1 provides many benefits for students, like curriculum programming, materials, and free tutoring at WPE. If you are unable to complete an application online, contact Food and Nutrition Services at 754-321-0250 to receive a paper Multi-Child Application for Meal Benefits. If you complete a paper application, please return the form to: Food and Nutrition Services, 7720 W. Oakland Park Boulevard, Suite #204, Sunrise, Florida, 33351. After your application has been processed, notification of your child’s meal eligibility will be sent to the e-mail address provided or through the postal service.
