We are partnering with Capistrano Unified School District to offer FREE breakfast and lunch for every student this year.

Lunch orders are due WEEKLY by Sunday at 9pm for the following week. Place your orders through ParentSquare so we know how many meals to order from our vendor.

We also have an interactive menu available HERE. Once you’re on the menu page, you will need to select the date at the top. The interactive menu provides nutrition and allergen information for the meals.

Lunch:

• Entree selection
• Fruit of the day
• Vegetable of the day
• Milk

Breakfast:

• Entree selection
• Fruit of the day
• Milk

*You do not need to pre-order breakfast.

Payment
All students will receive free meals for the 2022-23 school year. Click here to review the Meal Charge Policy.

Free and Reduced Meal Applications
Our school relies on families completing the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application for educational funding throughout the year. Even though every student will receive all meals free, it is beneficial for the school if you could fill out the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application. It also may help give qualifying families discounts on home services such as cable, internet, etc. If your family would like to apply, please complete the Free/Reduced Application under "Important Documents" or applications can be accessed in the front office.

Please email our Food Service Director at jnieves@communityrootsacademy.org if you have any questions or if you need to cancel your student's lunch. Please cancel no later than 9:00am on the day of the absence.

• Enrolled at a school for school year 2021–22 that participated in the federal School Breakfast Program or National School Lunch Program; and
• Eligible to get free or reduced-price meals for school year 2021–22; and
• Attended school via Independent Study (California’s version of virtual learning) or had at least five excused absences in a month.

You DO NOT apply. P-EBT cards are automatically sent to eligible families based on information from other programs, including CalFresh Food benefits and free or reduced-price school meals.
