WELCOME TO CHILD NUTRITION SERVICES

The Lemon Grove School Nutrition Services Program is devoted to offering healthy, nutritious, and cost-free meals to all students, creating an environment where every child can excel both academically and physically. We are dedicated to encouraging balanced diets, fostering lifelong wellness, and enhancing the overall well-being of our school community by providing meals that are nourishing and meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability. Our mission is to equip students with the nourishment they need for success while contributing to a healthier future for our community.

We are pleased to inform you that all students attending the Lemon Grove School District for the 2025 - 2026 school year will receive FREE breakfast and lunch, as we continue to operate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program under the National School Lunch Program, School Breakfast Program, and/or Afterschool Snack Program for the 2025 – 2026 School Year at all school sites.

We need your help to ensure adequate funding for our schools. Please complete a 2025-2026 Alternate Household Income Form online at 25/26 Alt Income Form English - 25/26 Alt Income Form Spanish for all LGSD students starting this school.
