Granton again qualifies for free lunch/breakfast
Granton Area School District is eligible to continue participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Program for the 2022-2023 school year. This program allows us to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students enrolled in Granton Elementary School and Granton Middle/High School! Even though receipt of free meals does not depend on an approved free and reduced-price meal application, we are still distributing and processing them so Granton Area School District families may qualify for other school funding.
New this year, middle school and high school students will have an option for a second chance breakfast. A reimbursable meal option will be available to students who did not purchase breakfast during the before school serving time. This second chance breakfast will be available for students to choose during the passing time between 1st and 2nd hour. Watch for more information on this option when school begins!
When your child participates in our healthy and delicious school meals program it will save your family time and money. At breakfast, all children are offered at least four food items from three food components (grain, fruit, and fluid milk) and at lunch are offered five food components (grain, protein, fruit, vegetable, and fluid milk). For your child’s breakfast to be free, they must take at least three food items, one of which is ½ cup fruit or vegetable. For your child’s lunch meal to be free, they must take at least three different food components, one of which is ½ cup fruit or vegetable. Second meals, a la carte items, milk only, or meals that do not meet the requirements described above will be charged a fee.
