Nutrition Services
The best educational environment is one that nourishes both the mind and body. Kennewick School District's Nutritional Services team, along with our service partner Sodexo, provides fresh, nutritious, tasty meals that help students be healthy, focused, energetic and successful — in and outside of the classroom.
Menus, Nutrition, Calories, and Allergen Information
Our meals are healthy and delicious! All meals are based on the USDA’s nutrition guidelines and include a variety of fresh fruit, vegetable choices, and chilled non-fat or low-fat milk.
free student meals
Every Kennewick School District student is eligible to receive one free breakfast and lunch through a federally-funded program called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). If a student brings their lunch from home and wants milk or a second breakfast or lunch, the student’s account will be charged according to the a la carte pricing. Sack lunches are available to elementary students only on Special Early Release days.
Family Income Application
There is no application for free meals, however, the district will send out a message to families in early August with a reminder to fill out the online Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit Application (CNEEB). Everyone, except for those who are directly certified through a state program, need to fill out this form so that Kennewick School District is eligible to receive state funding for important educational programs that our students are entitled to. Families must fill out this form to qualify their student for reduced/free sports, ASB, etc. fees.
