We are thrilled to announce for the 2024-25 school year, ALL students regardless of income will receive FREE Breakfast and FREE Lunch each day! This means every student enrolled in our schools can enjoy breakfast and lunch at no charge! Thank you to our Nutrition Department for working tirelessly to ensure we can take advantage of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program this school year! There will be no lunch forms coming home; however, parents of high school students may still be asked to complete a waiver form for ACT, SAT and AP testing. This news aligns with our commitment to remove barriers to student learning and ensures all students have access to nutritious meals, which is essential for their academic success! Join us in celebrating this wonderful step towards ensuring ALL our students are well-fed and ready to learn! For more details on this program, please see the Frequently Asked Questions attached or visit the following link for the announcement from the GA DOE. https://oglethorpecountyga.sites.thrillshare.com/article/1687731
