Culinary Services Meal Services for SPS Students
Every day SPS offers a nutritionally balanced breakfast and lunch for our students!
Culinary Services offers a variety of convenient ways to pay for school meals and have many schools and students who qualify for free school meals.
Free Meals for Students
Breakfast and lunch will be served at no cost to those students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Additionally, Seattle Public Schools has several schools that will offer free meals for all students.
Families must complete the free meal application every school year and will be responsible for the cost of meals provided to a student prior to the establishment of free or reduced-price eligibility.
Paying for Student Meals
Culinary Services offers a variety of convenient ways to pay for school meals including online payment and paying with check or cash.
Student Meal Debt
Seattle Public Schools is committed to providing nutritious meals to all students. However, we expect all families and students to fulfill their obligation to pay for meals prior to purchase. Any outstanding debt on a student’s meal account will be pursued by the district.
