School Meals – Beginning March 9, 2021 until the end of this school year.
All ICS students can receive free bag-breakfast and lunch without parents having to fill out additional paperwork as part of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act under the Seamless Summer Option (SS0) program which operates until June 30, 2021. This waiver is expected to support access to nutritious meals while minimizing potential exposure to the novel coronavirus (COVID–19). We have recognized the need to modify meal service models to ensure student safety. Providing meals through the SSO will support these models and not require additional administrative contact or burden.
-
Bag-breakfast will be available at each school entrance-location for students to grab and eat in their classrooms. Breakfast will be given with white 2% milk.
-
Lunch meals will be delivered directly to classrooms following ALL CDC food preparation and safety guidelines.

You can find our school meal menu on our website each month. There will only be ONE option per day with white 2% milk for breakfast and chocolate skim milk for lunch.
