Dear Westonka Families,
Please see the information below regarding meal options for the remainder of 2020-21 school year. If the learning model for the district, or your student's building changes, we will send you information regarding updated meal options. Please don't hesitate to contact our office with questions.

Students of Westonka Schools will have multiple ways to access meals depending on their grade level and learning model choice.
In Person Students:
On days when your student is learning in their school building, they will visit our kitchens and cafeterias as they have in previous years but with extra safety and physical distancing measures in place.
Thanks to an extension of the USDA School Meal Waiver announced Aug. 31, all meals will be provided free of charge.
* For more information about how your student’s school is promoting physical distancing during meal services, please reach out to the school directly.
