Everyday is a perfect day for school breakfast and lunch.

School Breakfast – Good for Kids and Good for Parents!

  • Breakfast is available every school day in the cafeteria.
  • Breakfast is served until bell rings.
  • Elementary starts serving breakfast at 7:50 a.m
  • Middle School starts serving at 7:30 a.m
  • High School starts serving at 7:15 a.m
It’s easy! It’s affordable! It’s tasty! It’s good for the brain!
Offer vs Serve(OVS) is how our lunch program operates. The goal is to reduce food waste
while allowing students to choose the foods they want to eat. Students are required to select
at least 3 components, including at least 1/2 cup of fruits and/or veggies. Options to choose from
include: milk, protein, fruit, vegetables, and whole or enriched grain items.
