Aug 20th, 2020 Update:
Beginning Aug 26, the Denton ISD Child Nutrition Department will continue “super bundling” an entire week of school meals (five breakfasts and five lunches) available for pick-up each Wednesday. Drive-through meal pickup is available at each location between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Please see list of sites below as they have changed.
When visiting one of our 7 campuses, families will be asked to remain in their vehicles.
You must provide Denton ISD student I.D. for each currently enrolled student receiving a meal.
Meals for ALL students in a household can be picked up at the same location as long as they are currently enrolled Denton ISD students.
Student IDs will be scanned to determine eligibility and meal benefits.
Typical meal prices for the 2020-21 academic year go into effect on August 26th.
Payment via School Café is preferred. Cash or check is accepted, but credit cards will not be accepted.
For the safety of others, please do not come to one of our locations if you or someone in your household begins to show flu-like symptoms. Either send someone else, a friend or neighbor or wait until you no longer feel ill or symptomatic.
To comply with the recommended CDC guidelines, all meals will be prepared for individual pick-up, no group meals or congregating will be allowed.
If you have questions, please contact Denton ISD Child Nutrition Department by checking www.dentonisd.org/meals
