Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year from the Food Services Department! The Waunakee Community School District works in partnership with Taher, Inc. to provide meals for our families and staff. We take great pride in our meal programs and the selection of food that we offer to our students and staff. We look forward to your partnership this school year.

Free/Reduced Application and Information
The Waunakee Community School District does not participate in the federal USDA meal program for the 2023-2024 school year. The District does offer a local meal program that utilizes the income information from the USDA meal program. All families who wish to receive free or reduced meals/milk must fill out an application form and submit for approval. All information provided on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and may be verified at any time during the school year by the school or other program officials. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. Please visit our Free and Reduced website for more information.
New for 2023-2024! If families qualify for the Reduced portion of the Free/Reduced application, families will no longer have to pay that fee. The school district will be covering this reduced portion cost. In addition to this added benefit, we have included an all-inclusive meal plan for students qualifying for Free/Reduced Meals. The plan will include a variety of meal options, including Meal Deals and Premium Meals (Chef, Creation, and Grill). Students wishing to purchase A La Carte items must have funds in their account to purchase these items.
