As the 2024–2025 school year begins, Kent School District (KSD) reminds families that all students continue to receive free breakfast and lunch at school, thanks to participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. This program provides free meals for every student, at every school, through the 2027–2028 school year, regardless of household income.
No need to apply for free or reduced lunch — meals are automatically provided at no cost.
However, while meal applications are not required, families are still strongly encouraged to complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) application each year. Completing the CNEEB form supports much more than meals.
Why Families Should Still Complete the CNEEB Application:
✔️ Secures important school funding for learning programs and resources
✔️ Reduces or waives fees for extracurricular activities, sports, and technology
✔️ Supports additional family and student benefits
✔️ Strengthens equity across our district as part of our OneKSD commitment
📝 The form is easy, confidential, and makes a real difference in our schools.
How to Apply:
Families can complete the CNEEB application online by visiting: Nutrition | Kent School District
By taking a few minutes to fill out the form, families help ensure OneKSD continues to serve every student, every school, every day — with meals, resources, and opportunity for all.
