News from Nutrition Services

Evening time slot added for school meal pickup We have added a late afternoon pickup time to better accommodate working parents. Meal pickup times are Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and now also from 4-6 p.m., at EHS Door 15 (east side of EHS). Also, Food and Nutrition Services have added up to five hot entrees (frozen for pick-up) and two cold sandwiches a week to the lunch menu. Because the USDA has extended the free student meal program through June 30, 2021, all students under age 18 are eligible to receive a free breakfast and free lunch for school, if they choose, through EPS Food and Nutrition Services. Visit the Food and Nutrition webpage.
