Good nutrition and learning go hand in hand!

The Nutrition Services department is made up of a team of food and nutrition professionals that are dedicated to students' health, well being, and their ability to learn. We support learning by promoting healthy habits for lifelong nutrition and fitness practices.

Meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools meet state and federal requirements which are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines. We provide students with access to a variety of affordable and appealing foods that meet the health and nutrition needs of students.

Free & Reduced Lunch

The Wellington-Napoleon School District participates in the National School Lunch Program.  This means that families can complete an application to see if they met the income and household number guidelines for their student(s) to receive either free or reduced breakfast/lunch prices.  At any time during the school year, your family income or household size changes and you think you be eligible we encourage you to complete an application.  You can find a copy of the application by calling the office and requesting one or just click on this link Free & Reduced Lunch Application.
