Nutrition

At our school, we recognize that good nutrition is foundational to being ready to learn. By supporting access to food and nutrition through various programs, we empower students to focus, engage, and thrive—whether they’re returning to education or forging a new path forward.

Food Resources

Many families in Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board experience food insecurity. There are several resources available within our communities, such as Food Banks and Free/Low-cost Meals.

School Nutrition Policy

Research shows well-nourished students concentrate better, have stronger memory and demonstrate positive behaviour.  This brochure explains how the School Nutrition Policy applies to foods and beverages sold in schools, available through school programs and sold at school events.  It also explains where the policy does not apply.
