We are excited to share that “Breakfast for All Students” is available at Marshall School!
Students who would like to have breakfast at school may arrive at the cafeteria door (door #9 by the back parking lot). They can ring the bell and they will then be let in to enjoy breakfast before the start of the instructional day. Students in grade K-2 will need to be escorted to the door by an adult and students in grades 3-5 are able to arrive independently if they wish.
The students are supervised by a cafeteria staff member and are seated at the cafeteria tables to eat their breakfast, prior to being dismissed to class at 9:00am. Students in grades 1 - 5 are able to walk to class on their own and kindergarten students are picked up by their teachers from the cafeteria.
All students are welcome to participate, regardless of whether they qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Families can decide whether school breakfast is a good fit for their child and morning routine. You do not need to sign-up in advance. Please note that students who do not qualify for free meals will be charged for breakfast just like lunch. Information about meal costs, eligibility, and payment options is available through our Food Services Department.
The price for a full breakfast at Marshall Elementary School is $2.15 and the reduced price is $0.00
The students who want to have breakfast must arrive at school 20 minutes before the opening of school. Upon arriving at school, the students will go directly to the cafeteria to have their breakfast. After eating breakfast, the students will proceed to their classroom. Early entry into the schools will only be for the students that are eating breakfast at school.
Breakfast will be offered from 8:25 - 9:00 am.

We are happy to offer this opportunity to our students and hope it makes mornings a little easier for our families. Most importantly, we look forward to welcoming students into our cafeteria each morning so they can enjoy a nutritious breakfast, connect with friends, and start their day ready to learn!
