Last year, all public schools in California were required to offer breakfast and lunch to every student. This program will continue this year as well. Breakfast is offered only before school for those who wish to receive it. There will be no food service during brunch break so students are encouraged to bring a snack. Daily lunch distribution will be available to those students who wish to participate. The breakfast and lunch menus are available online.

While we understand that emergencies happen, we kindly ask that you don't get into the habit of delivering your student a lunch daily up to the office. Many students pack their own lunch (some students even make their own daily lunch!) and bring it from home. There is a microwave and hot water dispenser available for students to use as well. Junior high students are begging for more independence and having students responsible for their lunch is a great opportunity to give them more autonomy. Rest assured, no student will go hungry.

Due to a simplified lunch distribution process this year, we will not be needing parent volunteers for hot lunch. As always, we appreciate the support of our parent volunteers! Please consider signing up for other opportunities at Blach for the upcoming year.

More Than Meals! Benefits for Your Student and School

Completing a school meals form is crucial to school funding.

For every student who applies and qualifies for free or reduced price meals, the school receives more than $150 and additional money from state and federal grants. This includes increased funding for after-school programs, technology, counseling services, and equipment for school kitchens. Families who qualify for free or reduced cost may also be eligible for free or reduced cost internet, free or reduced cost summer camps, and more! Your application helps your child and many others.
