Dear: Perham-Dent Families,
Perham-Dent is participating in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Seamless Summer Option (SSO) for the entirety of the 2021-22 school year. This means that our school provides free meals to all students! This program provides additional support and flexibility for our district to continue serving meals to children while maintaining safety measures and managing the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic.
Included in the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are nationwide supply chain and product availability shortages. Disruptions are due to a lack of availability of raw ingredients and labor to produce, unload, and transfer food products. Some food and/or beverage products normally provided to students may not be available or arrive as scheduled. Due to unforeseen circumstances, last-minute menu changes and product substitutions may occur. Be assured meals will remain balanced, healthy and plentiful. We ask for patience and understanding as we do our best to meet the needs of your children.
Our breakfast and lunch menus can be found at https://perhamschools.org/departments/food-services/ More information about the meals and the Perham-Dent School District’s food service program can be found at the website above.
Please contact me with any questions at 218-346-6500 Ext 6202 or email me at kboyd@perham.k12.mn.us.
Sincerely,
Krystal Boyd
Food Service Director
Perham-Dent Public Schools
