Child Nutrition During Reopening

While school meals will be offered at no cost to students regardless of ability to pay this school year, it is still vitally important for families to complete the annual application for free or reduced meal benefits. Students enrolled at a CEP school do not need to apply.

Please read the Parent Letter and the 5 Reasons to Apply flyer for all the important details.
