​MEALS AT NO COST FOR 2021-22 SCHOOL YEAR The Lake Hamilton School District is pleased to announce that breakfasts and lunches will be served to all students at no charge during the 2021-2022 school year. It is not necessary to complete a meal application for free or reduced-priced meals as The United States Department of Agriculture has extended meal benefits to all students at this time. For households who wish to complete a meal application, please click the following link: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Home/PickDistrict. Paper applications will also be available upon request at each school. These meal benefits do not include a la carte items sold in the cafeteria. If students wish to purchase items a la carte, they will need to have money for those purchases. All adults, teachers, support staff members, and administrators of the district must assume the full cost of the meal which is $2.25 for Breakfast and $3.85 for Lunch. #LHWolfNation
