CHILD NUTRITION

Ridge Road

The Child Nutrition Department is committed to providing healthy and delicious breakfasts and lunches for students and staff. We understand that nutritious food does more than keeps hunger away. The food that our students eat promotes critical thinking that will result in the development of healthy eating habits, improved learning readiness, and disease prevention. The Child Nutrition Department complies with all local, state, and federal guidelines.

The North Little Rock School District will continue to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2023-2024 school year. This means that all enrolled students in our district are eligible to receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge to your household. Your student(s) will be able to participate in these meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application. Click on this link to read the letter to parents about the Community Eligibility Provision.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 501-771-8088.
