Banner image on a light wood-grain background featuring the word "SEPTEMBER" creatively spelled out using colorful fruits and vegetables, including grapes, apple slices, corn, carrots, bananas, and blueberries. Beneath it, brown sans-serif text reads "IN SCHOOL NUTRITION," with fresh apples and grapes subtly framing the corners.

🍎 Serving Up September!

September is here, and the school year is officially in full swing! 🍎 As students settle into their routines, our School Nutrition team is busy serving up delicious meals, introducing new menu favorites, and making sure students have everything they need to fuel their day.

The compartments are filled with fresh apples, grapes, orange slices, berries, carrot sticks, cucumbers, and a small cup of dip. The center compartment holds a yellow card with the single word "REMINDER" written in bold text. In the background, school children eat lunch in a bright cafeteria.

🚨 Important: Have You Submitted a NEW Application for 2026–2027?

If your student received free or reduced-price meals last school year but you have NOT submitted a new Free & Reduced Meal Application for the 2026–2027 school year, please do so as soon as possible!
The grace period from last year's application will end on September 17, 2026. If a new application has not been submitted, your student's meal status will revert to full-pay after that date.


Already submitted an application for the 2026–2027 school year? You're all set! No further action is needed at this time.
A framed chalkboard on a stand in a school cafeteria displays the multi-colored text "DID YOU KNOW?" and "September 1st." It is decorated with cartoon drawings of cookies and a party hat. In the foreground, a real ice cream sundae with chocolate syrup, sprinkles, and a cherry sits on a small plate with a spoon. Groups of smiling elementary children are eating lunch in the background, where cafeteria workers and healthy eating posters are also visible.
