Dufur families, we would like to update you on a change to our food service program for next school year. We will not qualify for the CEP program next year, so we cannot offer free lunch and breakfast to all students again. Families will be able to apply for the Federal Free & Reduced Lunch Program if they would like. We will be sending information to families in the mail soon. It will include next year's meal prices, payment options and instructions on applying for F&R meals. Please contact us if you have any questions.
