Cafeteria Meal Prices

Wilkes County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for the 2025-26 school year. CEP is a provision under the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that permits qualifying school systems to serve a free breakfast and free lunch to all students in attendance. Every elementary student this year will be permitted to go through the meal line and eat one breakfast and one lunch free of charge. Every student will be required to pass through the point-of-sale (cashier) for each meal, and extra items, such as a second milk, additional servings, or snack foods, will still require cash or prepayment. The online prepay option will be available to allow parents to budget their student's a la carte purchases and avoid the need of sending cash to school. If a family chooses to opt out of CEP the meal prices below will apply to the student for meal purchases or for an extra plate.
