2026-27 Breakfast & Lunch Orders
Has your student tried the new food options yet? Our new food vendor for the 2026-27 school year is Revolution Foods and students are enjoying the new selections! In compliance with the Universal Meals Program, WESD provides meals (breakfast & lunch) to all students in the district who request for the school year.
For the meal ordering process, parents can voluntarily provide meal preference input (2 breakfast choices and 4 lunch choices) in a weekly survey and the District will place orders based on the feedback. All meals will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis and individual orders will not be provided. Please note: If a meal is requested by a student, the District is required to provide one meal per student, if available.
