  • What is the purpose of the income form?

    Posted by:

    When families complete the income form they are providing additional funding to support education, funding for technology and internet access, before and after school academic & enrichment programs, and resources for classrooms, teachers & children. It also provides funding for healthy & nutritional meals. Students who qualify within an income range may also qualify for free/reduced transportation fees, free physical education clothes, possible low/no cost access to community activities (i.e. sports, clubs).

  • Do adults eat for free?

    Posted by:

    No, adults would have to pay $3.50 for breakfast and $4.50 for lunch. Additionally, since we are a cashless system you would have to email Brenda Gurrola at brenda.gurrola@sesd.org to create an account where you are able to deposit funds.
