Breakfast and lunch is FREE to all Powers Lake Public School students for the 2021-2022 school year or until further notice.
This means ALL students in grades K-12 will receive free breakfast and lunch regardless of their free/reduced status.
Please continue to fill out free and reduced applications to ensure that your status will remain. If you have already filled out an application and been considered reduced or denied, you will not be charged for meals. The free meal is intended to be a complete meal. Students wanting to purchase individual items, such as milk or an extra entree must pay a la carte prices. Any money on your student’s account will remain until charges begin again.
When you come to the school for Back to School night, please stop by the office and fill out the free and reduced application as a lot of our school funding is dependent upon these applications.
Also, don't forget to bring money for student activity passes as they need to be paid as soon as possible.
See you tonight!
