Lunch & Nutrition

Beginning Monday, September 14th, the Coal City School District will be offering FREE breakfast and lunch for ALL students on school days whether they qualify or not. The USDA has created a waiver allowing schools to offer free meals to students from 9/1/2020 until 12/31/2020.  Meals charged from 9/1/2020 to 9/14/2020 will be refunded to meal accounts.

 

At this time it is uncertain if the waiver will extend beyond December and in the event it does not, meal service will return to normal in January 2021 and reduced/paid students will be charged for meals.  

 

We do not normally offer breakfast to High School and Middle School students but with the waiver we will offer breakfast for grades K-12 at all buildings until 12/31/2020.

 

Pre-K students will also be offered a take-home lunch meal and the snack that was offered will be discontinued until the end of December.  Parents can sign up their PreK student using this Google form for them to get a take-home lunch each day school is in session https://bit.ly/3kikGRB . 

 

Any REMOTE learners interested in breakfast or lunch should fill out the google form under lunch/nutrition tab on the district's website or this Link

 

This waiver does not mean all students will automatically receive breakfast and lunch each school day.  Breakfast is offered 15 minutes before the start of school at each building, students need to go to the cafeteria to get a meal.  Students K-8 will sign up for lunch meals with their teacher in their classroom daily.  High School students can pick up lunch in the cafeteria or cafe cart located by the bus pickup area.
