A colorful graphic set against a dark green chalkboard background featuring light chalk doodles of schoolhouses, math equations, and science symbols. Central Text: Large, stylized 3D letters reading "BACK TO SCHOOL" sit inside a bright blue banner in the middle of the frame. Food & Produce: The text is surrounded by a rich collage of fresh produce, including red and green apples, bananas, bunches of purple grapes, pears, broccoli heads, carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, and leafy greens. Health & School Icons: Integrated into the produce design are circular badges representing health and wellness (a brain with fruit-bearing branches, a heart with a medical cross on a shield, and a colorful spiral icon), alongside school supplies like stacks of books, globes, and pencils. Border: A repeating border pattern made of red and green apples, wooden rulers, and yellow pencils frames the entire image.

🍎 Welcome Back!

🌞 Start the Day Strong with Breakfast

Breakfast is an important part of helping students start their day ready to learn. A nutritious breakfast provides students with the energy they need to stay focused, engaged, and successful throughout the school day.
Families can view breakfast and lunch menus anytime through My School Menus https://menus.healthepro.com/organizations/1522
Menus include daily meal options, and nutrition information, so families can plan ahead for the week.

🍎 Free & Reduced Meal Applications

The 2026-2027 Free & Reduced Meal Application is now available. Just a friendly reminder that an application must be completed every new school year. It costs nothing to apply but if approved, your child will receive delicious and healthy breakfast and lunch meals for free.* Click the following link to be directed to the 26-27 application: https://www.lunchapplication.com/.

Families who qualify for reduced-price meals should know that the North Carolina General Assembly is funding all reduced-price meal copayments again this school year, meaning eligible students will not have to pay the reduced-price meal amount.

Good news! You only need to submit one Free & Reduced Meal Application per household—no need to fill one out for each student.
Also, if at any time your household dynamics change you can reapply as often as needed.
