Nutrition Services & Universal Free School Meals for ALL Students

The Child Nutrition Services department will continue to serve free meals to all students. All in-person students may receive one breakfast and one lunch at no charge. No application or registration is needed! All meals are compliant with state and federal nutrition guidelines, and CNS is committed to serving nourishing meals for all students by expanding our scratch, in-house menu items and serving seasonal, locally-grown fruit and vegetables from farmers in San Diego County. Also, healthy snacks are available for purchase.

To create a student account and manage balances for snack purchases, please visit SAN MARCOS USD at SchoolCafé
