Mount Baker School District’s Child Nutrition Department strives to provide healthy food choices to our students to stimulate readiness to learn, as well as encourage life-long healthy eating habits.  We are committed to providing nutritious food and excellent customer service to students, parents, and staff.

The District has implemented the following policy and procedure in its commitment to providing healthy school meals:

Dear Parent/Guardian:

Mount Baker School District will serve meals each school day at no charge. It is important that you still complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit application though as it may qualify you for: Summer EBT benefits, reduced fees for other programs and activities, and/or help secure funding for your school district. The Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit application will be available at the main office at each school.

Fill out the application if:

• Total household income is the SAME or LESS than the amount on the chart below.

• You receive Basic Food, take part in the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) for your children.

• You are applying for foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court.

Turn in the application to Main Office where your child(ren) attend school:

• Be sure to submit ONLY ONE application per household. We will notify you if the application is approved or denied. If any child you are applying for is homeless (McKinney-Vento), or migrant, check the appropriate box.
