Empowering Minds, Redefining Education

Important Meal Info - Action Required

Posted Date: 09/01/26 (09:14 AM)


Dear Families,

We are pleased to inform you that Ida Nason’s free meal program continues this year: all enrolled students can receive one healthy breakfast and one nutritious lunch every school day at no cost. View our menus HERE.

While meals remain free for all students, we kindly ask every family to complete the Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit (CNEEB) Application. Even with free meals, this form directly determines critical state and federal funding for our classrooms, support programs, technology, and potential fee waivers for student activities.

How to Apply:

1.      Online (Fastest): https://mealtimeapps.com/ (new, easier-to-use platform!)

2.      Paper Application: Hard copies are available on our website and at your school’s office. Note: A new application must be submitted every school year to maintain benefits.

Complete a Consent to Share Form HERE (so your meal eligibility status can be shared with other programs)

If you have any questions or need assistance completing the application, please contact the Ellensburg School District Child Nutrition Department at (509) 925-8217 or visit our district website.
