Federal Way Public Schools is dedicated to helping ensure scholars are well fed, so they are ready to learn. Starting September 9, 2020 school meal kits will be served every Wednesday, with one exception.
Also, due to Winter Break no meals will be served on Wednesday, December 23 and December 30. The School Meals Program will resume Wednesday, January 6, 2021.
The back to school letter noted that students would receive meal cards. Due to a recent update from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), we will not be using meal cards until further notice.
Funding by the USDA, meals are available for FWPS students and children aged 18 or younger at no cost.
