National School Lunch Program

The Pleasant Ridge Union School District participates in the National School Lunch Program and/or School Breakfast Program by offering healthy meals every school day.
 
Meals are free for all students for the 2024-25 School Year. However, your children may qualify for additional services, supports, and discounts if they qualify for the Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELO-P).
 
Qualified students will be eligible for our ELO Program (formerly known as After School Rec), as well as various field trips on weekends and during school breaks, at NO COST. Please submit a Household Income Data Collection form if your household income is within the Eligibility Guidelines on the form. Students who are notified that they are directly certified through SNAP, TANF, Medicare, and other sources automatically qualify for Free ELO-P services. Direct Certified eligibility letters will go out by August 6th. Free ELOP does not apply to Arete Charter Academy students, but other, additional benefits and supports may be available to those who qualify.
