The District is pleased to continue a meal certification option called the Community Eligibility Provision available to schools participating in the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. This certification allows our schools to offer both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students during the upcoming academic year through the 2026-2027 academic year.

Each student will be allowed one full breakfast and one full lunch per day, under the certification. All families are asked to complete the Community Eligibility Form mailed home and submit it to the district's Business Office. 

Students will be charged for individual items and double meals, which can be purchased using personal checks, cash, or cashless payments through MySchoolBucks. A credit/debit card, e-check, personal check, and cash are accepted forms of payments. Families may use MySchoolBucks to quickly and securely make wireless payments for school meals, review meal purchases, account activity, and more. Learn more at MySchoolBucks.com.

NOTE: Students purchasing lunch or receiving a free or reduced-priced meal are required to take a fruit or vegetable, a protein, and grain component for lunch. They must select at least three (3) food components as part of their lunch. At breakfast, students must take a fruit or vegetable (Midlakes offers a fruit choice), a grain, and milk. 

Allergies/Meal Modification Process

Please notify your school nurse of any food allergies. All meal modifications must have a written note, submitted by a state licensed healthcare professional to the school nurse. The note must include the name of the allergen (food) and how it affects the student if exposed.

All allergy information will then be provided to the Midlakes Food Services staff from the school nurse. It is important that the school nurses receives this information first.
