The Nutrition Team strives to provide outstanding customer service to our guests every day.  It is our goal to greet the students with a smile, use their name, thank them for joining us and invite them back.  We value our students and continue to work to provide a fun, healthy environment for them to enjoy their meals.

FREE MEALS TO ALL STUDENTS!

Hamilton Unified School District continues to operate under the statewide Universal Meal Program which means that we offer FREE MEALS TO ALL STUDENTS. One free breakfast and one free lunch. A second breakfast or second lunch is available for purchase but must be prepaid and is requires regardless of eligibility.

FREE & REDUCED LUNCH STATUS-

Due to recent changes in regulations, Hamilton Unified School District parents do not need to complete the Free and Reduced Lunch Program application in order to receive free melas at school. However, parent responses to the Income Survey in the Aeries Parent Portal allows Hamilton Unified School District to designate students as qualifying for Free or Reduced Lunch status.

If you would like to request a letter certification of your child's Free or Reduced Lunch status, please contact your school's office or the district office. The district phone number is 530-826-3261.

Thank you for supporting the Hamilton Unified School District Food and Nutrition program.
