School Menus
In the Yakima School District, we are dedicated to promoting children's well-being and nutritional health. As part of our commitment to prioritizing child nutrition, we have implemented a comprehensive wellness policy that provides nutritious meals and creates a supportive food environment. Our approach ensures that children have access to balanced and wholesome meals, incorporating essential nutrients for their growth and development. Additionally, we collect valuable wellness assessment data better to understand each child's nutritional needs and preferences. This information allows us to tailor our meal programs and educational initiatives, empowering children to make healthy choices and cultivate lifelong habits contributing to their overall well-being. Through our child nutrition-focused wellness policy and assessment data, we strive to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive and reach their full potential.

Community Eligibility Provision Continuation
The Yakima School District is participating in a federal program available to select schools as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Program called Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). This means that all students attending our District are eligible to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge throughout the 2026-2027 school year, regardless of family or household income.
