Meals At No Cost

JPS scholars will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no cost as part of the Community Eligibility  Program (CEP). It provides an alternative approach to offering school meals to local educational agencies and schools in low-income areas, instead of collecting individual applications for free and reduced-price meals. The CEP allows schools that predominantly serve low-income children to offer nutritious school meals at no cost to all students through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

Adult Meal Prices

• Breakfast: $2.50
• Lunch: $3.50

Lunch Components

JPS schools follow the USDA comprehensive meal pattern for breakfast, lunch, and snacks, in order to be eligible for federal reimbursement. A complete lunch includes five components:

• 1 Entrée
• 2 Fruits and/or Vegetables
• 1 Bread
• 1 Milk

In accordance with Federal Law and USDA policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
