All students 18-years-old and younger will eat free of charge in Jordan School District school cafeteria’s this school year. The USDA has extended the free meal waiver for another year, or until funding runs out.
That means all schools will serve free meals in the school cafeteria. The meals will be served based on serving schedules established at each school site.
Enrolled online and at-home learners may pick up meals at specific times and locations designated by each school. Siblings of enrolled online and at-home learners may also receive free meals.
Free lunch and breakfast for the next morning will be available to pickup door-side for all children 18-years-old and younger at the following locations:
- Joel P. Jensen Middle
- Elk Ridge Middle
- South Hills Middle
Meal service at these three locations will be from 10 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday.
Only children are eligible for free meals under this waiver.
**Families who may qualify for free or reduced meals are still encouraged to apply so there is no lapse in meal benefits when this waiver expires**

It was not a typical summer of rest and relaxation for some middle school students in Jordan School District. That’s because they were immersed in abstract reasoning, problem-solving, computer science, statistics, engineering and mind-challenging math equations. It was part of something called the Prefreshman Engineering Program (PREP), which is an academically rigorous mathematics-based summer enrichment program. The last day of PREP culminated with students launching their own home-made rockets they designed using engineering skills.
