Bridges Public Charter School participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), a federal initiative that provides funding for nutritious and well-balanced meals. In partnership with Whitsons Culinary Group, Bridges PCS offers all students daily free breakfast, lunch, and an after-school snack for students who participate. Additionally, Bridges PCS takes part in the Fresh Fruits & Vegetables Program, which promotes wellness and healthy eating by providing students with fresh fruits or vegetables twice a week.

Bridges PCS Notice to Parents: Breakfast, Lunch, and Snack

    Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are FREE to all students

    Bridges PCS offers healthy meals every school day to all students at no cost. As eligible participants in the Community Eligibility Provisions (CEP), Bridges is able to provide free meals to all students at no cost for the 2024-2025 school year.

    Meal Program Enrollment

    Parents who wish to have their children eat school lunch must inform the school, via their (re)enrollment documents, by checking “yes” to wanting to receive free school breakfast and lunch. In addition, parents must inform the school of the type of meal their child should receive. The choices at Bridges PCS are:

    • Regular (could include meat, dairy, and wheat)

    <!>

    • Vegetarian
    • Gluten-free
    • Soy Milk for students with Dairy Restrictions
    Home lunch students

    Families may send lunch to school for their child in place of school lunch. **Bridges PCS is a nut-free schoo**l, so please be mindful of the meals packed for your children. Students are not permitted to consume unhealthy snacks on the premises to include candy, soda, chips, etc. Teachers will ask students to keep such snacks in their lunchboxes for later consumption off-premises. If a home lunch student forgets their meal, they can receive a school lunch for free.

    Meals for Virtual Learning Students with Medical Exemptions
    The school will be open five days a week for in-person instruction for the school year 2024-2025. If your child does have a medical condition, and cannot participate in in-person learning, we will need documentation signed by a doctor or nurse practitioner. Please email Georgia Vergos, Chief Operating Officer, gvergos@bridgespcs.org if you have filled out the form or have any questions.

    For meals during distance learning, we will package five days worth of meals and have them available for pickup. If the family can’t pick it up, our family engagement specialists will deliver it to the student’s home.
