Important School Meal Information

Great news, Perry students! Fuel up for success this coming school year with FREE breakfast and lunch for ALL students throughout the year! See below for details.

The Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) is a federal program that helps schools and districts meet eligibilities to serve no-cost lunches and breakfasts to all their students. This program aims to ensure that every child has access to nutritious meals without the need of an approved free or reduced meal application. It's designed to reduce the stigma associated with receiving free meals and to increase participation in school nutrition programs.

No, your child does not need to sign up for the free breakfast and lunch program. All students in Perry Local Schools are automatically eligible to receive free meals every school day for this school year.

No, families do not need to complete any forms or applications for free meals for this school year. All students are eligible for free meals through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

Yes, a la carte items will still be available for purchase in the cafeteria.

While the meals are free, any additional items that are not part of the meal will need to be purchased separately. Examples of a la carte items would be an extra milk, extra slice of pizza or sandwich or a bag of chips.

A la carte items cannot be charged. To purchase a la carte items, families can add funds to their student’s lunch account through LINQCONNECT or send cash or check payable to PLSD Food Service with your child(ren). Any remaining money will be added on your child(ren)’s account for future a la carte purchases.
