The мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½± established the School Meal Program to provide a nutritious lunch to our students while at school. The cost of this program is currently $70 per month, per child. Limited funding is available to school districts through the Ministry of Education and Child Care’s Feeding Futures Fund to provide food to students who need it most. If families are experiencing food security challenges or financial hardship, and children require a meal during the school day, subsidized meals are available. We ask families who require subsidy to contribute any amount they can.
The $70 monthly contribution is a fixed rate and students participating in the School Meal Program are expected to receive a meal every day of the school week. Food is ordered and prepared based on an established number of participants, and it is not possible to provide meals for individual students only on select days.
It is the parents’ responsibility to review the monthly menu and to ensure that their child is aware of any menu item that is prohibited due to dietary restriction. Parents are responsible to instruct the child to avoid this menu item. Despite our reasonable efforts, the school district cannot guarantee that there are no allergens which may cause an anaphylactic reaction in our menu items.

Currently, the elementary schools within the district which participate in the School Meal program include:
