Students registered at a school that qualifies for the national Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program will receive free meals and may pick up meals from one of the 17 locations.

Those attending a non-CEP school (Buchholz, Hidden Oak, Meadowbrook, PK Yonge, Resilience, or Healthy Learning) must pick up meals at Buchholz or PK Yonge.  Meal pricing will be based on the student’s meal status of free, reduced or paid.   More information on pricing is available on the Food and Nutrition Services website at yourchoicefresh.com.

 “We consider the curbside meal pick up option a great opportunity for children to stay connected to their schools and to have access to healthy meals at a great value.  We would like to encourage all families with children enrolled in Digital Academy to take part in this program.” said Maria Eunice, Director of Food & Nutrition Services.
