2024-2025 SY Meal Prices

  • This page is full of information regarding why some Granite Falls school sites get free school meals and some do not.
    1. HB 1238: Beginning with the 2024-25 SY elementary schools, where 30% or more of enrolled children are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, are required to provide meals at no cost to all students.
    **Monte Cristo Elementary and Mountain Way Elementary reached the 30% threshold and all K-5th grade students will get free school meals for the 2024-2025 SY. It is crucial that Free & Reduced Meal Applications get filled out by ALL parents and returned as soon as possible.
    2. The Middle School was added to the CEP (Community Elegibility Provision) program that Crossroads and Open Doors Academy are currently a part of. Due to this addition, ALL Middle School students will get free breakfast and free lunch for the 2024-2025 SY.
    3. The High School will continue on with the Free/Reduce/Full-Price model for the 2024-2025 SY.
    4. Crossroads and Open Door Academy will continue on with free school meals due to the CEP (Community Eligibility Provision) program for the 2024-2025 SY. **CEP allows schools with a high number of low-income children to serve free breakfast and lunch to all students without collecting school meal applications. However, families are required to fill out a Family Income Survey.
