Under the California Universal Meals Program, all students may receive a breakfast and lunch meal each day at no cost.

We are pleased to inform you that the Lakeside Union School District will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).

Schools that participate in this provision are able to serve healthy Breakfasts and Lunches each day at no charge for all students.
