Lunch Program

Quest Free Meal Program October 5 - December 31, 2020
We are excited to offer free lunch to every student at West Northfield School District 31 thanks to the Summer Food Service Program from the USDA, a federally funded program. Covid related adaptations to the program makes it possible for District 31 to temporarily participate through December 31, 2020, (although there is a possibility that this may be extended).  During our eligibility,  there is no charge for school meals – breakfasts and lunches, provided by Quest Food Management Services.   Please visit our webpage to see the FAQ, menus, meal planners, etc!

Justice for All

In-Person Learning Lunch Program
We encourage all families to take advantage of the free lunch program. Parents do not need to sign up for the free school lunch program. Each child coming into school will receive lunch for the day at NO cost. Beginning Monday, October 5, District 31 will offer EVERY child a free meal. We encourage families to take advantage of this program rather than send in a lunch from home, but you are free to do that, as well.   Milk will also continue to be available to all students.

Because of federal guidelines, Quest will be unable to offer meal choices, adjust portions sizes, or offer a la carte items (at Field).

Remote Learning Lunch Program
District 31 students who are part of the remote learning program are also invited to receive weekly meals  through the Summer Food Service Program. Remote families who wish to participate MUST fill out this form to indicate their participation and to determine whether they will pick meals weekly or request drop off.  Each enrolled student will receive seven lunches and seven breakfasts in the weekly pick-up/drop off. 

• Families can pick up meals at Glenbrook South High School between 8:30am-noon at Door H.  Meals can be picked up every Monday starting October 5 (unless it is a holiday, then Tuesday) OR
• Meals can be delivered on Monday mornings by our bus service partner, North Shore Transit

If you are a family who has students in the remote program and wish to participate, please fill out the forms to indicate your preference for drop off or pick up of meals.
