The district is offering a breakfast program for the 2026-2027 school year at all locations in the district. Each student at all schools will have the option of eating breakfast at school. A student that attends any of these schools and that qualifies for free or reduced price meals will be entitled to a free or reduced price breakfast and a free or reduced price lunch.
The price for a full breakfast at Marshall Elementary School is $2.15 and the reduced price is $.00
The students who want to have breakfast must arrive at school 20 minutes before the opening of school. Upon arriving at school, the students will go directly to the cafeteria to have their breakfast. After eating breakfast, the students will proceed to their classroom. Early entry into the schools will only be for the students that are eating breakfast at school.
Breakfast will be offered from 8:25 - 8:55 am.
