Nutrition & School Meals

Student Nutrition Services (SNS) is committed to providing students the equitable support they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond, by keeping them nourished along the way.

• Thanks to Federal waivers, we are able to provide no cost school meals for all students starting in the 2021-2022 school year

• Save time and money next year by having your children take advantage of free school meals! Their participation keeps Federal funds here in San Francisco and supports the meal program to improve and expand.

• Because all meals are free, SNS will be moving away from accepting cash at many schools this year. If you would like for your students to purchase items we ask that you set up an account.

• With the exception of our schools with Breakfast in the Classroom, we will resume regular breakfast service on the first day of school. We look forward to supporting those schools who are adding before school care due to earlier start times.
• Schools with Breakfast in the Classroom service will resume this program after Labor Day. In the meantime, breakfast will be available before school.

• We will resume regular lunch service models on the first day of school.
• Remember all students at all schools will be able to eat lunch for free! Even if you bring lunch from home, grab a free milk, fruit and vegetable to round out your plate!

• We will be adding a free snack program to the following schools this school year:
  • The Academy - SF @ McAteer, Aptos Middle, Balboa High, Bessie Carmichael, Bret Harte Elementary, Bryant Elementary, Buena Vista Horace Mann K-8, Burton High, Dr. G.W.
