DEAR CES FAMILIES,

BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Students at CES and CUES can enjoy free breakfast anytime from 7:45 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. Students also have the option to take a grab-and-go breakfast as a snack if they have already eaten breakfast at home. Please do not drop off children before 7:45 a.m. as there is no adult supervision available until 7:45 a.m. Keeping children safe is our priority!

LUNCH PROGRAM

Lunch costs $2.65 daily, which includes milk. If you pack your child’s lunch they can purchase milk ONLY for 50 cents. Please consider filling out a free or reduced lunch application even if you are unsure that you will qualify. If your child qualifies, it helps your family and it also helps our school! This information is kept confidential. Students are not identified in any way by how they pay for their lunch.

COLUMBIA CONNECTION - We look forward to connecting with you!
