We know at GFW Schools that feeding students healthy meals helps them to reach their full potential both in and outside the classroom. That is why we are committed to providing high-quality meals. Our meals are planned according to federal guidelines, which not only cover the amount of food offered but also the nutrient content. All meals are prepared onsite. We try to expose our students to a variety of foods we hope they will enjoy.
We ask that if your student has a special diet that you fill out the Special Diet Statement Form.
We encourage all families to fill out the Free and Reduced Application. This form needs to be done at the start of every school year. It can also be done again if anything changes in your household during the school year.
School meals are also a great value and a huge convenience for busy families too! Parents can make Lunch payments online via the Parent Portal.
We look forward to feeding your children!
