TSD Lunch Program
For the past two school years, the USDA has offered waivers to food service programs across the US allowing us to offer all students breakfast and lunch at no charge. Unfortunately, these waivers expired on June 30, 2022. This means that families will be asked to complete and submit a Meal Benefits Application for the 2022-23 school year. With the waivers, breakfast and lunch were free. This year if students do not qualify for free/reduced lunch, they must pay. The prices are listed below:
Student Meal Pricing
Breakfast - $1.50
Lunch - Elementary $2.75
Milk (Individual) - $.60
