Prices
For Reimbursable Meals Only
The Wallingford School District has opted to receive Federal funds that will allow all students to continue to receive free meals in school for the beginning of the 2022-2023 school year!
This means that for at least the first few months of school, all meals will be free to all students. However, please note that at some point in the coming months, we will be reverting back to a normal school year where students who are not qualified to receive free meals will need to start paying for meals, and it is extremely important that households fill out the free and reduced meal application as soon as possible. When the Federal funds are exhausted, those students not eligible to receive free meals will need to begin paying for meals. Parents will be notified 30 days in advance before students begin paying for meals.
Meal pricing will be as follows for school year 2022-2023:
Breakfast
· Elementary Breakfast- $2.00
· Middle school Breakfast ( Will be Available sometime this year)- $ 2.10
· High School Breakfast- $2.15
· $.30 for those eligible for reduced priced meals
Lunch:
· Elementary-$3.25
· Middle school- $3.35
· High School- $3.45
· $.40 for those eligible for reduced priced meals
