Wilkes County School Nutrition is pleased to announce that we will continue participating in the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) through the National School Lunch Program for the 2025–2026 school year. What does this mean for your family? Every student enrolled in Wilkes County Schools from Pre-K through 12th grade will receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost each school day. CEP allows eligible schools to provide free, nutritious meals to all students regardless of household income. No action is required from parents or guardians—no applications to complete and no meal fees to pay. Just one more way we’re working to support student health and academic success. A la carte items (such as ice cream, chips, beverages, etc.) will be available for purchase at all schools. Students must have money in hand or funds in their account to buy these items. Payments for a la carte items, second meals, or any prior meal balances can be made in person with cash or check, or online through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you have any questions, please reach out to Elizabeth Bohler with the Wilkes County School Nutrition Department at bohlere@wilkes.k12.ga.us or 706-678-2718.
