Cafeteria News for the upcoming 2022-2023 School Year

Mentor will not have a summer feeding program this year following USDA Guidelines.

 

Beginning 2022-2023 school year, students will NO longer receive breakfast or lunch at NO cost unless the student qualifies for a free or reduced price meals.  Your student must be eligible for a free or reduced meal plan either through direct certification or a completed free or reduced meal application. Student lunches will be as follows:

 
$3.25 - Elementary Lunch
$2.00 - Elementary Breakfast
 
$0.40 - Reduced Lunch (with proper completed paperwork)
$0.30 - Reduced Breakfast (with proper completed paperwork)

The meal applications will be available on the website after July 1, 2022.  The electronic copy is the most efficient way to apply which will be available on the website or Parent Portal.  If you need a paper copy please contact Nutrition Services at 440-974-5227. If your student was previously eligible either by direct certification or application, that status carries over for the first 30 days of the new school year.
