LUNCH PROGRAM/MILK

Creston School provides an excellent, well-balanced school lunch program. The cost for each lunch is $1.50 (includes milk) for grades K-8. Milk is available for students with home lunches for $ .25 cents per day. Lunches are encouraged to be paid for on a weekly basis; however, students may pay for lunch per day in the school office before class in the morning. Menus are sent home each month. There are no carbonated beverages allowed in the school cafeteria. Please do not send them to school in cold lunches.

FREE AND REDUCED PRICE SCHOOL LUNCHES

Free or reduced price lunches are provided to all public school children whose family incomes are at or below income levels set by the federal government. Children whose parents or guardians may become unemployed are eligible for the free or reduced price lunch meals, provided the loss of income during the period of unemployment falls within eligibility guidelines. Applications for free and reduced price lunch programs are available in the school office. Information submitted is confidential and will be used only to determine eligibility for lunch program.
