Dear River Forest Families,
As you know, a student needs to make sure they are eating well in order for them to focus on their school work.
During the virtual learning process the River Forest Food Service Department will be handing out meals for our students during the week of August 25th through August 28th at your child’s home school between 11:00 to 12:30.
The price for these meals will be charged at your child's eligibility rate. Therefore if your student’s status is reduced or full pay your child must have funds in their lunch account in advance.
You can add money to your students account by using our online payment system SendMoneyToSchool.com.
For more detailed information and the first week’s menu please go to the Food Service Department link on the River Forest Community Schools website.
Thank you and have a great day.
