Free meals are now available to all children in School District 197 (ages 1-18). The U.S. Department of Agriculture has announced it will waive all fees for school meals through December 31, 2020 (or earlier if funding runs out). This is an extension of the summer meals program that provided meals to families throughout distance learning last spring and into the summer. 

All students have the opportunity to meet with their child's classroom teacher in a one to one meeting on either September 10, from 12 p.m.- 6 p.m. or September 11, from 8 a.m.-1p.m.
