Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to inform you that Gulf District Schools will be implementing a new option available to schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs called the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) for School Year 2020-2021. 

Schools that participate in the CEP are able to provide healthy breakfasts and lunches each day at no charge for ALL students enrolled in that CEP school during the      2020-2021 School Year. 

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact Bill Carr, Assistant Superintendent, at (850) 229-8256 or (850) 639-2871.

Sincerely,
