For the 2024-25 school year, SSPS will implement a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means breakfast and lunch will be provided free of charge to all students this year. Parents/guardians do not need to fill out a form for their student to receive free meals.
We encourage ALL Sandite students to take advantage of this program by eating nutritious meals provided by their school cafeteria. If enough students eat school meals this year, the district may be able to provide free meals for all students again in future years.
We ask parents/guardians to complete an Economically Disadvantaged form for their household, which is included in the SSPS enrollment/registration process.
This form is for school funding purposes only. It is NOT a meal application, and eligibility cannot be determined by that form.
If your student has money on their meal account, there will be opportunities to use those funds for a la carte and extra food purchases.
