St. Louis Language Immersion School is participating in a Free Breakfast and Lunch Program for the current school year (2024-2025). This alternative is referred to as the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). All students enrolled at this school may participate in the breakfast/lunch program at NO CHARGE. Household applications for free and reduced price meals will not be collected.
The school breakfast and lunch that we serve follows the U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The Free Breakfast and Lunch Program cannot succeed without your support. Please encourage your children to participate in the school meal programs.
All meals will be served to all students at no charge!
Menus for Breakfast and Lunch will be posted on the website each month in addition to a paper copy sent home! SLLIS Parents/Guardians can also access the Menus by downloading the 'Food 4 Life' - Taher app!
ELL Families: Within 15 days of receipt, St. Louis Language Immersion School is required to either provide a copy of the ELL Individual Student Report (ISR) to the parent/guardian OR notify parents/guardians of distribution plans of Individual Student Reports (ISRs). Schools may choose to hold ISRs beyond the 15 day deadline. Reasons may include plans on distributing them during a welcome back to school event or parent/teacher conference. If the district plans on holding the ISRs beyond 15 days, they must provide an alternative way for parents/guardians to obtain the report.
St. Louis Language Immersion School ISR reports for English Language Learner students will be provided to parents the first week of school, hand-carried by each student. In addition, these reports will be available during the Back to School Night Event with each English Language Learner teacher. In the event you would like to obtain your child’s ISR before then, please email Dr. Lisa Tariq @ lisa.tariq@sllis.org.
