School Meal Information
We all have busy schedules but also have a responsibility to provide a good foundation for a healthy lifestyle for your child. In addition to the curriculum objectives which will be taught, each classroom teacher will encourage good nutrition and physical activity routines. Please refer to Nutrition at School and the Academy Wellness Policy which are included in the handbook.
The Child Care Food Service provides food service to all students at the Academy for a minimal cost. Free or reduced price lunches are available for students who qualify under federal guidelines. Applications for the National School Lunch Program can be obtained in the office or you can visit the family portal.
AM Breakfast and Lunch Service
Breakfast and lunch forms along with menus are sent home with the student each month.
