For the upcoming 2024-2025 school year, Wilkes County School Nutrition will continue participating in the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) through the National School Lunch Program. As a result, all Wilkes County students from Pre-K through 12th grade will receive breakfast and lunch at no cost.
CEP allows eligible schools to provide free meals to all students, regardless of their economic status. What does this mean for you? Great news! Every enrolled student in Wilkes County Schools will be eligible for a healthy breakfast and lunch every school day of the 2024-2025 year at no charge. No action is required on your part. Your child(ren) can enjoy these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit an application.
Congratulations to the hard-working, talented, and spirited Class of 2024!
