At the East Newton School District, we believe every student deserves access to nutritious, delicious meals that help them learn, grow and thrive. Our dedicated staff proudly serves more than 1,200 students each day by providing high-quality breakfasts and lunches.

 

All families, regardless of income, should complete the Free/Reduced Meal Application annually in SchoolCafe.The application is available as an online form, or families can request a paper form from their school secretary or cafeteria manager. It is vital that ALL families complete the form, even if they did not qualify in previous years, as district budgets are dependent upon accurate data gathered from the Free/Reduced Meal Application.

 

If you need help with the application, please contact Food Service Director Stephen Nokes.
