Free School Meals for All Students in 2025-2026 School Year

School meals update

After several weeks of uncertainty, we are thrilled to announce that breakfast and lunch will once again be FREE for all Vicksburg Community Schools students during the 2025-2026 school year.

Thanks to the State Legislature’s recent approval of the state budget, including critical funding for school meals, this important support will continue for all students throughout the school year. The Governor is expected to sign the budget into law, making the funding official.

We are relieved that the funding to continue meals for the entire school year is now available so all students can benefit.

If you took the time to fill out the Federal Meal Benefits Application, thank you. While meals are free for all, these applications help unlock additional funding for our district, allowing us even more resources for students.

If you have any questions please direct them to Food Service Director, Sarah Dyer at sdyer@vicksburgschools.org. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this uncertain time.
