The District promotes good nutrition and wellness by providing breakfast and lunch to students as a part of the Community Eligibility Provision program (CEP) in compliance with the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, School Breakfast and Lunch Act and Childhood Hunger Relief Act and all of their rules and regulations.

The CEP program provides a healthy breakfast and lunch each school day at no charge for all students enrolled during the school year. This program does not include second meals and a la carte purchases, however, these are available for an additional cost.

The educational aspects of the school lunch program, as well as the behavior expectations for students while in the cafeteria is the responsibility of each school principal.
