School Meal Program

Universal Meal Program

SCSD offers breakfast and lunch at no cost to all students, regardless of family income. All students have the opportunity to participate in the District’s meal program, but participation is not required. School sites order meals based on consumption patterns and in amounts that allow all students access to California’s Universal Meal Program for breakfast and lunch every school day. Vegetarian options will be available and allergies will be accommodated (please see allergy section below). Each school site has their own meal location and service times that will be communicated to families. If you decide to participate in the meal program, please discuss options with your child and follow-up for feedback.

Meal Resources

For the 2026-27 school year, SCSD has contracted with Revolution Foods to provide Breakfast and Lunch. Check our SCSD Menu Details for information on the following:

Breakfast and Lunch Menus (note not all sites provide a hot breakfast)
Meal Card Images for Breakfast and Lunch
Nutritional and Allergen Information
The RevUp Reward Program (submit meal feedback to win prizes!)

School sites do their best to track and anticipate student meal preferences; however, some students may receive their second-choice (or possibly third-choice) meal. All breakfast meals include a fruit or veggie, and milk (or two fruits/veggies), while all lunch meals include a fruit or veggie, with the option of milk. Most schools allow students to place unwanted food items in the “shared bin”, just past the lunch line.

While schools provide breakfast and lunch, please remember to pack a snack for recess. And remember, school meals are entirely optional. You are welcome to pack food from home!

Food Allergy Statement

SCSD participates in the federally funded Child Nutrition Program where all meals must meet program requirements. Reasonable food accommodations must be made when the accommodation requested is due to a disability and supported by a physician's statement. Reasonable food accommodations may be made for children without disabilities who may still have special dietary needs; however, a medical statement is required. If you are requesting a meal accommodation, please ask your physician to complete and return the Food Allergy Form.

Earned Income Tax Credit Information Act Communication (click for more information)

Earned Income Tax Credit Information Act Communication

Based on your annual earnings, you may be eligible to receive the Earned Income Tax Credit from the Federal Government (Federal EITC). The Federal EITC is a refundable federal income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The Federal EITC has no effect on certain welfare benefits. In most cases, Federal EITC payments will not be used to determine eligibility for Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income, food stamps, low-income housing, or most Temporary Assistance For Needy Families payments. Even if you do not owe federal taxes, you must file a federal tax return to receive the Federal EITC. Be sure to fill out the Federal EITC form in the Federal Income Tax Return Booklet. For information regarding your eligibility to receive the Federal EITC, including information on how to obtain the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Notice 797 or any other necessary forms and instructions, contact the IRS by calling 1-800-829-3676 or through the IRS website.

You may also be eligible to receive the California Earned Income Tax Credit (California EITC) starting with the calendar year 2015 tax year. The California EITC is a refundable state income tax credit for low-income working individuals and families. The California EITC is treated in the same manner as the Federal EITC and generally will not be used to determine eligibility for welfare benefits under California law. To claim the California EITC, even if you do not owe California taxes, you must file a California income tax return and complete and attach the California EITC Form (FTB 3514). For information on the availability of the credit eligibility requirements and how to obtain the necessary California forms and get help filing, contact the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) at 1-800-852-5711 or through the California Franchise Tax Board website.
