Windber Area School District is excited to announce the continuation of free meals for all students for the 2021-2022 school year.  As with last year, all students are eligible to receive one FREE breakfast and one FREE lunch each school day.  This program is made possible under the Seamless Summer Option (SSO) of the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) through the US Department of Agriculture.  Ala carte and additional entrée items will continue to be available for purchase with your students’ meal account. 

Even though all students will be eligible for FREE meals, it is still important for all families to continue to fill out the Free and Reduced lunch applications yearly.  This year, Windber Area School District, will begin to make the transition to Free and Reduced Lunch applications online.  Applications can be filled out on the School Café Website, https://www.schoolcafe.com/WindberAreaSD, or via the School Café App.  If you have previously signed up for School Café, you can simply log in to complete your updated application.  New users will need to create an account.  This account will also allow you to view and monitor all of your students’ cafeteria charges.  Once again, it is very important for families to continue to fill out the applications even though meals will continue to be Free.  If you have previously filled out an application last year, you will need to resubmit one for this school year.  Paper applications can be sent home with your student upon request to your student’s school office. 

Thank You for this opportunity to continue to provide your children with Free healthy, nutritious meals.
