DPS Families – Just a reminder the school lunch program will allow free breakfast & lunch to all families for the 2021-22 school year. Beginning September 7th both RMS & DHS will begin a la carte items at their snack bars. These a la carte items are not part of the free school program and will require money be loaded on their lunch account. Also, this program does not include the waiver of school fees. If you need assistance with the school fees you will need to complete the lunch/fee waiver application on our website and turn it into your school or the district office. Thank you.
