Greetings from the WUSD Food Service Department. We want to take a moment to notify you that schools offer a nutritious breakfast starting at 7:30 AM and lunch each school day. The meals are offered according to your child’s approved meal status. Students can eat free, at a reduced rate, or full price. If you are not sure if your student qualifies for free or reduced meals, please feel free to contact Chris Sanders at any time Monday thru Thursday by calling 1-928-635-4428 ext. 124 or email csanders@wusd2.org. Our lunch ladies have noticed there are some students not eating during the day, so we are reaching out to parents to help us by encouraging their children to eat at school. Studies have found students that eat healthy meals perform better in school. We look forward to serving healthy nutritious meals to all students in accordance with the National School Lunch Programs (NSLP) guidelines. Please visit our Food Service page for meal application and pricing. https://www.wusd2.org/o/wusd/page/food-service--222
