Skykomish School District is participating in the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). The CEP allows schools located in low‐income areas to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students.
Benefits of the CEP Program:
Students: Access to free nutritious meals for all students, no stigma, and less time spent in cashier lines and more time to eat nutritious meals
Parents: No household application means less paperwork and no worries about lunch accounts
School staff: Streamlined meal service operation and more time for students to consume their food
Administrators: Reduced paperwork and administrative costs, no need to track unpaid meal charges, improved program integrity, and more nourished students ready to learn and grow.
Food Services
Federal law and USDA regulations require nutrition programs to make reasonable modifications to accommodate children with disabilities. Under the law, a disability is an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity or bodily function, including allergies and digestive conditions, but does not include personal diet preference.
At the start of school all parents are asked to complete a short Family Income Survey. Information collected on the survey will help the District complete program reporting requirements.
Menus
We serve meals that are convenient, economical and healthy to our students daily. Our menus are designed to provide good nutrition, variety and the best service possible for your children. We continually look for new menu items to offer.
