All Daviess County Public Schools district students will receive breakfast and lunch at no charge during the 2021-22 school year.

Families are still encouraged to complete the application for free/reduced price meals, as that information could affect school fees and PEBT benefits. That form is available here.

The DCPS district follows National School Lunch Program meal guidelines that ensure that children receive nutritionally balanced meals each day.

Food services director Connie Beth Fillman said cafeteria staff members remain dedicated to serving delicious meals that children enjoy.

“A healthy breakfast and lunch are an important part of the school day in providing energy for kids to learn,” Fillman said.
