School Lunch
A good meal is key to providing the energy your child needs to do their best. National Heritage Academies (NHA) remains committed to ensuring students maintain a healthy and nutritious diet, no matter what learning scenario our schools are in. Please know, in order to receive meals, your child must be an enrolled student at our school. We also offer free and reduced programs for qualifying families (see details below).
Free Meals for all Students
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently announced that they will continue serving meals to children at no cost, through June 30, 2022. This will ensure, no matter what the situation is, children have access to nutritious food as the country recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Paid Meal Programs Will Return for the 22-23 School Year
The school breakfast and lunch program will return to a pay-per-meal format at the start of the 2022-23 school year. Federal waivers were put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 to provide free meals. The waivers expire June 30, 2022. If you are concerned about the cost of our school meal program, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides free or reduced-cost options for families who qualify. Applications can be submitted for the 2022-23 school year starting July 1, 2022. Additional information will be communicated in the upcoming weeks.
