We are excited to welcome AZ Kidz Mealz as our new school lunch program vendor for the 2026–2027 school year!
We know that proper nutrition plays an important role in students' ability to focus, learn, and be successful in the classroom. Through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), all New World students can enjoy FREE breakfast and lunch every school day. We are excited about the meals and variety AZ Kidz Mealz will be providing and look forward to another great year of serving our students nutritious and delicious meals.
A Healthy Start to the School Year
This school year also brings new nutrition requirements for schools across Arizona. The Arizona Healthy Schools Act takes effect with the 2026–2027 school year and establishes requirements regarding certain ultra-processed foods served or sold on school campuses during the regular school day. The law applies to school and classroom celebrations as well.
What does this mean for our families? As part of these new requirements, students may not bring food or treats from home to share with their classmates during the school day. We appreciate your understanding and partnership as we work to meet these requirements and maintain a healthy learning environment for all of our students.
Our school meals continue to follow the nutrition standards required through the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. We are excited to partner with AZ Kidz Mealz as we provide nutritious meals that help our students have the fuel they need to focus, learn, and succeed.
We look forward to a year filled with good food, healthy choices, and happy students!
