PUBLIC RELEASE

Community Eligibility Provision
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Spickard R-II School District is participating in a Free Breakfast and Lunch Program for the current school year 2026-2027. This alternative is referred to as the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). All students enrolled at Spickard R-II School may participate in the breakfast and lunch program at no charge. Household applications for free and reduced-price meals will not be collected.
Studies have shown that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing school meals to all children at no charge, we are hoping to create a better learning environment for our students.
The school breakfast and lunch that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support. Please encourage your children to participate in the school meal programs. Meals will be served to all students at no charge regardless of the eligibility status.
If your children attend Spickard R-II School, breakfast and lunch will be available to them at no charge.
