Dear WSD3 Families.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture extended the waiver to provide free meals to include breakfast and lunch to children ages 0-18 during the 21-22 school year. All meals served in WSD#3 cafeterias will be free of charge.

Nutrition Services is happy to announce we will be offering grab and go meals again this year to all kids (0-18) that are not in the classroom. These meals will include a breakfast and lunch.

Meals will need to be ordered from Nutrition Services daily by 9:00 am. There is no meal service on no school days.
