School lunches are continuing to be offered at no cost through the rest of the 2020-21 school year, after the Ohio Department of Education received approval to continue the program. Parents do not need to fill out any additional forms for the school lunch program to receive this benefit for the 2020-21 school year.

Superintendent David Lewis was able to visit classrooms across the district this month to congratulate our December 2020 Citizens of the Month. Students are honored monthly based on their actions inside and outside of the classroom at school. They are nominated by their teachers. 

Congratulations to all students who were recognized as December 2020 Citizens of the Month.

School lunch menus are now available for the 2020-21 school year. Thank you for being patient as our food service department worked to finalize lunch offerings this year. As a reminder, meals are currently offered at no cost for all students grades K-12. Please click the below links to find your child's lunch menu:

Newark City Schools will be offering lunch and breakfast to children ages 2 to 18 at no cost, once per day starting Tuesday, Sept. 8. This is because the USDA passed a ruling to allow us to serve at no cost 1 lunch and 1 breakfast a day Monday through Friday, through December 31. Meals will continue to be served between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at our buildings while students are learning virtually. Students can pick up 1 lunch and 1 breakfast meal daily between those times. Once we return to in-person classes, meals will be offered at regularly scheduled times for all students at no charge.
