Child Nutrition

The Child Nutrition Department is proud to be part of the District’s team. Our main goal is to support our educators in their efforts to improve student achievement. It is a proven fact that hungry minds cannot learn and cannot teach!

California will continue to implement a statewide Universal Meals Program for all school children.  California's Universal Meals Program is designed to build on the foundations of the federal National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and School Breakfast Program (SBP).  The State Meal Mandate includes both a nutritiously adequate breakfast and lunch, free of charge, for all children each school day.

Although all students will receive free meals throughout the duration of this school year, we request all families to complete this: Online Free / Reduced Meal Eligibility for School Year 2026-2027 form, as this form affects a variety of areas unrelated to school meals, including school funding, college application fees, SAT fees, bus passes and more. Even if your child does not plan to eat school lunches, it is important to fill out this form to help ensure our schools and families receive the available resources.
