Dear CSArts-SGV Parents/Students:

Under California's Universal Meal Program (UMP) all CSArts-SGV students are eligible for a nutritionally balanced free breakfast and lunch every day.*

Regardless of whether or not you plan to utilize the free meal program we encourage any CSArts-SGV family who may qualify (based on income level) for the Federal Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Program (FRLP) to apply.

If approved, your family would be eligible for additional discounts, including reduced prices on lockers, parking passes, yearbooks, school dance tickets, and more, and the school may be eligible for additional funding. If you think your family may qualify, please apply through www.schoolcafe.com. When logged into SchoolCafe look for the "Apply for Benefits" link on the Dashboard. Applications must be submitted annually and are open for the 2025-2026 school year.  

If you have questions, please contact Brian Volz, Cafeteria Manager, at BVolz@duarteusd.org  

*not all items available from the cafeteria qualify for the free meal program. Items that do not qualify are available for purchase.
