Food Service
 Noe Bazan Food Service Clerk nbazan@ricardoisd.us  Olga Cuevas Kitchen Supervisor ocuevas@ricardoisd.us On behalf of the Ricardo ISD Food Service Department, we would like to welcome you to the 2024-2025 school year. We are looking forward to serving nutritious meals to the children of the district. Each day the school cafeteria provides breakfast and lunch designed to meet the nutritional needs of all students. The school breakfast is available for all students and provides the energy necessary to facilitate learning for active school children.
 Ricardo ISD participates in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program. This program allows all students to eat free for breakfast and lunch. We will not be collecting Free and Reduced-Price Applications this year, instead, we must collect the Income Survey. This form helps us collect household information for our students attending a CEP school. Without this information, our district could lose important state funding for educational programs that our students are entitled to. WELLNESS POLICY
