Food Services

At Fremont County School District #2 we recognize the connection between good nutrition and student success. All of our food service staff is dedicated to our students' health, well being, and their ability to learn.

All meals, foods, and beverages sold or served at schools are based on the USDA Dietary Guidelines and meet state and federal requirements. All students have access to well balanced, healthy meals that provide the recommended amounts of nutrients and energy for optimal learning and child development.

Note from the FCSD #2 Food Service Director

The goal of the federal school meal program is to ensure that children do not go hungry and have access to nutritious meals that support healthy growth and development. Please take a few minutes at the beginning of each new school year to complete the new free/reduced meal application. Unless you are approved for free or reduced meals, your family will be paying full price for school meals this year. For a family with two or more children enrolled in school, eating breakfast and lunch, imagine the savings for the school year. A reduced priced breakfast is only $.30, and a reduced lunch is $.40. That is a tray full of food with seconds if the student would like, for less than a bag of chips. Participation in our school’s nutrition program also helps our district as a whole. Federal reimbursement is provided based on the number of free, reduced price, and paid meals served.

As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Thank you for your cooperation!

Ram Pak Program

The Community Food Bank of the St. Thomas church in Dubois offers weekend supplemental food bags called “Ram Paks.” This program’s goal is to help supplement students nutritional needs over the extended weekends.

Ram Paks contain individual items that are shelf stable. Items are selected for both nutrition and child appeal. They are delivered to the student’s cubby or locker on Thursdays. We ask that the students take the Ram Pak home the day it is delivered.

If you believe that your family could benefit from this generous program, we encourage you to sign up. Forms are available from the school nurse or by clicking the link below. Please use one form per family.

Ram Pack Food Program Consent Form

The program begins approximately the week after school starts and runs until the week before school ends.

If you have any questions, please contact Anna Hinkle, district nurse and Food Service director.
