Important School Meal Update for 2025–2026: Beginning next school year, the School District of Black River Falls will no longer be part of the Community Eligibility Program (CEP), which previously allowed us to offer free lunch to all students. While this was a wonderful program, rising costs and uncertain federal funding make it fiscally unsustainable at this time.
We’re sharing these updates now to help families plan ahead. Come back every day this week for more details--or refer to the district wrap-up email sent to all parents on June 3.
