Food & Nutrition

Our team takes pride in serving healthy, tasty meals that fuel learning and support well-being. We keep menus diverse, reduce food waste, and maintain clean, welcoming spaces for students and staff. We enjoy working with children, value feedback, and are always looking for ways to make mealtime better for everyone.
School Benefit Program
It's more than just a meal application!
Completing the annual application for school benefits can help the district secure additional funding to support students and connect students with discounted fees or community support resources.
- Free and Reduced Meals
- Family Connections/Human Services Centers
- Fee Waiver Program/Athletic Fees
- ASB & Club Membership Dues and associated costs
- Course Fees & Supplies
- AP Test Fees
- Field Trips
- Gate Entrance Fees
- 24/7 Crisis Support Line
- No-Cost Health Care Access
We ask all families to complete a School Benefit Application, no matter your income. Doing so helps make sure your student gets the maximum support available through federal programs like Free & Reduced Meals. It also helps our district receive important funding that supports critical programs for all students.
No Cost School Meals will be available at Richard Gordon, David Wolfle, and Suquamish Elementary schools for 2025-2026.
