About Food Services
We are excited to update you with the news that Massachusetts students will receive FREE school meals in School Year 2023-2024 and in all future years! Last month, Massachusetts became the 8th state to make Free School Meals for All permanent which means that breakfast and lunch will continue to be served at no cost to all students for years to come. Since your child attends a school that participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), you are not required to complete the Household Application for Free and Reduced Price Meals.
If you are interested, please consider applying for SNAP, the federal nutrition program that provides eligible residents with monthly financial assistance to purchase groceries. More SNAP information can be found at gettingsnap.org or by calling Project Bread’s FoodSource Hotline at 1-800-645-8333.
Meals are provided by Trio Community Meals, a company that specializes in providing delicious, balanced meals which meet the school lunch nutrition standards. These standards include reducing sodium, including whole grains, fruits and vegetables with each meal.
Vegetarian Options are available daily upon request.
Special Diets (allergy, gluten-free, or any other diet type) will be made available but medical documentation is required.
Nuts Trio is not a nut-free facility though they make every effort to prevent any cross-contamination. Nuts are never included in any menu item. However, some packaged snacks may be produced in a factory that also processes nuts.
