Nutrition Services

Through state and federal funding, Renton School District will continue to provide breakfast and lunch meals at no charge to most students in the 2024-2025 school year. All students can eat school breakfast and lunches at no cost except at Risdon Middle School, Hazen High School, and the H.O.M.E. program. Unfortunately, the federal Community Eligibility Provision grant formula left our district unable to include students those schools. Families at these schools can complete the Meal Benefit Application and email it to RSD.mealform@rentonschools.us or drop off your school cafeteria to receive meals at no cost.

Complete this Important Application

While families are not required complete a form for meals at no cost, families are still strongly encouraged to complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit Application (also linked below) that helps students and families receive important school resources.

Submit your completed form to RSD.mealform@rentonschools.us or drop off your school cafeteria.
