Food Service Program
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
This year we are able to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students who qualify for free and reduced priced meals, thanks to the continued support of federal funding. Full pay students will pay for both breakfast and lunch this year. please see the School Meal Cost section for more information.
The CT Summer Meals Program is now available!
The program provides free, nutritious meals to kids during summer break. Summer Meals meet federal nutrition guidelines and are composed of milk, fruits, vegetables, grains, and meat or another protein. Summer Meals are offered at hundreds of sites around the state from June to late August, serving combinations of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Meals are free to any child age 18 and under, no questions asked.
Food Services
LEARN Regional Educational Service Center administers four magnet schools in Connecticut and believes it is important to provide a high-quality Food Service Program at each of our schools.
Children who eat well-balanced meals and are physically healthy are more likely to learn in the classroom. The link between good nutrition and good education is clearly demonstrated by better attendance, higher test scores, and fewer behavioral problems in school.
