Nutrition Services
Food that Fuels Learning
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.
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.
Special Early Release Days
We offer sack lunches on Special Early Release days to students. These meals need to be consumed at the school and are not distributed after the school ends.
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.
Family Income Application
Although there is no application for free meals, the district does send out the Family Income Application. This form is sent to many of our families in July and requests household income information so that Kennewick School District is eligible to receive state funding for important educational programs that our students are entitled to. If your family receives this form, we encourage you to fill it out and return it as soon as possible. Although student meals are free through the CEP, families must still meet household income guidelines to qualify their student for reduced/free sports, ASB, etc. fees.
