Lunch & Breakfast Update for 2022-2023 School Year

posted June 27, 2022

Attention Parents/Guardians,

Please be aware that the federal waiver that provided free lunch and breakfast for all students for the past two years has not been extended for the 2022-2023 school year. Students will be charged for breakfast and lunch when they return to school in August.

All parents will be encouraged to complete a free and reduced application which could qualify you for reduced price or free meals based on income guidelines. This application will be available after August 1. Please watch for additional information on meal prices and an online application in early August.

Please contact, Food Service Director, Heather Smith if you have any questions at heather.smith@cardinalcomet.com.

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
