Panther families,
It's officially August, and school begins two weeks from tomorrow! With that in mind, the August lunch menu and order form is now available. Just visit our School Lunch webpage to find links to the menu and to place your order. Please place your order by next Tuesday, August 9 at 5pm. Thank you very much!
The school meals program is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, school corporations across the country have been operating with the use of a federal waiver that allowed them to feed every child for free through the end of this school year.
The use of this waiver will not be available after the 2021-2022 school year, and corporations will return to the traditional eligibility requirements for free, reduced and paid meals. This means that for school year 2022-2023, our school corporation will process free and reduced-price meal benefit applications.
Click the link below to read an updated letter to school households from Marian High School Food Service Director Cami Whitten about this upcoming change for the 2022-2023 school year, along with reminders about meal benefit eligibility.
Finally, be on the lookout later this week for our annual Back to School Newsletter, which will include all of the information and links you'll need to get this year started smoothly. We hope to see everyone at our Back to School Night on August 15 from 6-7:30pm!
