Free school
meals for all
Westbrook School Nutrition Director Mary Emerson announced that all city schools are participating in the Community Eligibility Provision to offer free meals to all students.
Household applications may not be required to receive free meals this year, but forms, similar to applications, are distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as federal title programs.
The funding form can be completed online at westbrookschools.schoollunchapp.com.
For additional information, contact Emerson at 591-6054 or email emersonm@westbrookschools.org.
