Starting tomorrow, September 3rd, 2020, Fairfield Schools will be providing FREE MEALS to all of our students (PK-12th grade). This includes breakfasts and lunches, but NOT extra milks or milks purchased for snacks. Also, if a student brings a sack lunch, they will have to buy a milk as usual. This change is being made by the USDA and at this time is set to expire at the end of December 2020 or whenever the funding runs out. If you have an outstanding balance for meals for your child, you will still need to take care of this bill as soon as possible. Thanks!
