Welcome back! We would like to thank you for the opportunity for allowing us to provide service to your children each day!


The Warden School District has implemented the Community Eligibility program for this year. All enrolled students will receive their meals free of charge. Please read the letter to parents.

Warden Families, 

Warden School District Nutrition Services continues to strive to provide the nutritious meals that Warden students have come to expect but this year especially, it has taken some quick thinking, flexibility, and creativity to stick to the Lunch Calendar. As much as we do intend to stick to the meal schedule on the WSD School Lunch Calendar, there have been times when we've had to make some last minute changes due supply chain issues and there will likely be more changes made out of necessity in the near future. We will continue to do our best to keep last minute changes to a minimum and thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
