Meal Applications
Great news! All KCKPS enrolled students are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at school at no charge to your household each day of the 2025-2026 school year.
The district will no longer use the free and reduced-priced meal application until further notice. Instead, one parent/guardian from each household will submit a different form, the Household Economic Survey (HES).
Our Mission
Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand. Nutritional Services mission is "Providing nutritious and flavorful foods, to inspiring students, in a welcoming environment, while maintaining financial responsibility and excellence." We work to ensure all students are afforded the opportunity to receive healthy, enjoyable meals that are student tested and student approved.
The Nutritional Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.
Meals, foods and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.
