Public Notification
Bishop John Walker participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). We are considered a School Food Authority (SFA) and partake in the Child Nutrition Program (CNP) by offering free meals and snacks to our students regardless of their eligibility status through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
This notification, in order to be compliant with federal and local regulations, is required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to notify the community (public) about the availability of Bishop Walker's meal program.
​
The goal of the Bishop Walker School for Boys breakfast and lunch program is to provide healthy meals to students during the school day. In order to serve healthy, high-quality meals to children, we must make sure we are financially secure. At BWS, full price lunch meals are free for all students. All families can access BWS’ meal price policy at any moment on our school website. All school staff are informed of this meal pricing policy. Additionally, all food service professionals receive this information at their annual foodservice training. All families are eligible and encouraged to apply for free and reduced-price meals. Applications for free and reduced price meals can be acquired online and in our main office. Families that need assistance completing the application can reference these instructions or consult any main office administrators. Families that are initially declined for free and reduced meals are encouraged to re-apply at any point during the school year if there are changes to household income information or if a household is experiencing hardship.
