School Year Meal Program
Clay County schools participate in the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs, and all children are eligible for a free breakfast and lunch each school day.
If your child wants to purchase additional food items beyond the free meals, you can deposit cash or checks into their account at the school cafeteria. If you’re depositing funds into more than one child’s account, be sure to provide detailed instructions so the funds are properly distributed.
