Ordering Meals

Universal Meals Program
Hermosa Beach City School District participates in California's Universal Meals Program. All students in California are eligible to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day, regardless of household income.
To help us plan and reduce waste, we are requesting that all families place their breakfast and lunch orders online before 7:00 AM if their child will be eating a school meal.
While meals are free for everyone, we strongly encourage families to complete a Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application if they may be eligible. Approved applications help our district qualify for additional state funding. Families who qualify for Free & Reduced-Price Lunch are eligible for our Expanded Learning Opportunities Program with STAR Education (i.e., daycare and summer camps).
