Lunch at Nea
Nea works with the AUSD Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) to provide daily breakfast and lunch for all learners.
Important things to know:
- Free Breakfast and Lunch will be provided to ALL students during the 2022-23 school year!
- It is still important to complete the 2022-23 Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals because:
- qualifying for this program can qualify your family for other benefits, and
- our school receives funds based on how many families qualify for this program, and
- even if you don't qualify, turning in the form helps us get the most accurate picture of our school

- In addition to the daily menu offering, FNS offers salad bars, seasonal fruits and a vegetarian option.
