News from the Kitchen
Our dedicated kitchen staff are committed to meeting our families' needs. Therefore we are now serving "grab and go" bagged lunches on half days this school year!
In addition to adding money to your child's food service account, families can now pre-order school lunches from home! Here is the link to access your child(ren)'s account: https://www.sendmoneytoschool.com/Dashboard/Login.aspx. If you need your child's ID number, please contact his/her teacher for assistance.

St. Joseph Public Schools Meals Program Update
BIG NEWS! Last week we learned that the USDA extended many waivers regarding the National School Lunch Program. One temporary waiver that was extended was that ALL students can receive FREE breakfast/lunch and St. Joseph Public Schools is going to participate in this waiver! This means that all students can get 1 breakfast and 1 lunch per day at no charge! Please understand that this is a temporary program and we are not sure of the end date, so please continue to fill out Free/Reduced lunch applications if needed when the program is over. We are still asking parents/students to pre-order their meals through the www.sendmoneytoschool.com website. Only lunch meals can be pre-ordered and this will help our food service staff plan for your student. Any student that ate breakfast or lunch since 9/8/2020 has not and will not be charged for those meals. If you have any questions please contact me, Demrhy Youngquist at dyoungquist@sjschools.org. Have a great school year!
