PROVIDING FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Community Eligibility Provision
The Community Eligibility Provision is a federally funded program that allows eligible schools in the District
to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students. This initiative ensures that every student has access
to nutritious meals, thereby reducing barriers to food security and supporting student well-being. The District
experienced a 4.0% increase in lunch participation and a 9.0% increase in breakfast participation compared to
the previous year.
Grade A+ Catering

The Department of School Food Service (SFS) introduced Grade A+ Catering, a
rebranded catering program to provide comprehensive food service solutions. From
light refreshments to full meals, Grade A+ Catering simplifies event planning by
managing all food and beverage details. A dedicated website was launched to offer
menu options, pricing guides, and contact information. By delivering exceptional
food and impeccable service, Grade A+ Catering has quickly positioned itself as a
trusted resource for organizing school events.

Marketing Campaign
To raise awareness that school meals are free for District students, the SFS marketing team mailed postcards
to all families at the beginning of the school year. The mailer included information on accessing menus,
nutritional details, allergen information, and how school menus are crafted to reflect the District’s diverse
student population.
