Wheatland R-II School District will be going back to the traditional policies under the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. 

Students will be charged for breakfast and lunch this year. We will be distributing packets for school meal applications. These school meal packets are very important to our school district.  In addition to determining eligibility for free and reduced-price school meals, the school meals applications help our school district allocate vital funding and resources. We strongly encourage you to fill out the Free and Reduced forms! ​

If all of your children are enrolled at Wheatland R-II School District, you only need to submit one application; However you must fill out a new school meals application each school year.

If you have any questions, please contact Kirsti Saultz at (417) 282-5833.
