We have received guidance from the state of Connecticut regarding Breakfast and Lunch for the 2024 -2025 school year. Breakfast and Lunch is FREE for any student who qualifies for Free or Reduced price meals.

Important reminders:

  • One school breakfast and one school lunch per day will be provided at no cost to each student who qualifies for Reduced-Price meals.
  • Second meals are available for purchase at the following prices:
    • Breakfast
         $1.50 Elementary
         $1.75 Middle/High
    • Lunch
         $3.25 Elementary
         $3.50 Middle/High
  • A la carte items are also available for purchase.
  • We will continue to collect free and reduced-price meal applications, as it is important that we do so in order to ensure families receive proper benefits.
    If you have not already submitted a 2024/2025 free and reduced-priced meals application, we encourage you to do so. DO NOT SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SUBMITTED ONE OR IF YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED BASED ON DIRECT CERTIFICATION. Please click below on the Free and Reduced Lunch tab where you have the option to complete an application electronically or print an application to be completed and returned to any one of the schools or the Nutrition Services Office. You may also request an application from any one of the school offices or the Nutrition Services Office. 
  • The following parent video may be helpful in completing the free and reduced-price meals application. 
  • In addition, the following information regarding the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (see Addendum C) may be helpful.
The West Hartford Public Schools boast a rich tapestry of diversity and culture

Vision for Equity and Anti-Racism 

WHPS One Community for Equity 

We, the members of West Hartford Public Schools, dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of equity. Equitable schools are those that value and honor ALL in our community as unique individuals capable of maximizing their true potential. We make a solemn promise to identify and dismantle all elements of systemic racism and historical inequities. We vow to clear paths, with a relentless duty to those in traditionally marginalized groups. We pledge to partner with ALL families in the service of the success of each child. 

The work of the district's Equity and Diversity Council (EDC) supports our commitment to advance equity, honor diversity and foster inclusiveness in all areas of our district's programs, practice and services.
