Our team provides breakfast and lunch at each school site while supporting families with menus, meal accounts, nutrition resources, wellness initiatives, and locally sourced foods.
 
School Meals at PLESD
 
California continues to implement a statewide Universal Meals Program for public school children. California’s Universal Meals Program (Universal Meals) is designed to build on the foundations of the federal school meal programs. Therefore, meals will continue to be free of charge to all PLESD students.
 
The District Nutrition Services department is committed to providing complete, nutritious, and pleasing meals to all students. Every meal will meet the USDA requirements for nutrition, enabling all students to prepare for academic development.

The Nutrition Services department provides breakfast and lunch for all students who want to participate. We host kitchens at Rio Del Oro Elementary, Cobblestone Elementary, and Riverside Meadows Intermediate School.  Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and funded through federal and state programs, the program makes meals available for all students.
 
All students are able to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch every school day.  
 
Anyone can buy our delicious non-fat chocolate or low-fat original milk for $ 0.75 if they choose not to receive a free meal.  
 
Adult meals and extra items, such as a second entree, are available for purchase at regular menu price and are not included within the Meal Benefit Program.
