Breakthrough Montessori PCS participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), a federal program that provides free breakfast and lunch to all enrolled students. No meal application is required.
To meet the dietary needs of our students, we offer:
Meat and vegatarian meal options
Lactose-free, 1% dairy, and soy milk options
During enrollment, families are asked to indicate their child's meal preference, milk preference, and any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
If your child's meal preferences or allergy information changes during the school year, please update the information in PowerSchool or contact the Operations Team at operations@breakthroughmontessori.org so we can ensure your child receives the appropriate meal accommodations.
