Food Resources

Free Summer Meals at BSD Schools

Learning doesn’t end when school lets out, neither does a child’s need for good nutrition. 

The summer meal program provides free, nutritious meals to help students get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow. Download the Summer Meals flyer: English (PDF) / Spanish (PDF).

Meals are served during the summer in the cafeteria at Highland Middle School, Sammamish High School, Sherwood Forest Elementary and Stevenson Elementary. Children 18 years and younger must arrive during the meal service times to receive a free meal. Meals must be consumed onsite. Grab and go style meals are no longer available.

Adults may purchase meals (breakfast $3.25; lunch $5.00. Cash only). For more information, contact Nutrition Services at 425-456-4507.

Mental Health and Well-Being Resources

Summer is just around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your warm-weather activities! As you make your summer to-do list, prioritize self-care and well-being.

1. Embrace the great outdoors. Spending time outside has numerous benefits, such as reducing stress and anxiety, improving mood and boosting creativity. Consider activities like walking, hiking, biking, gardening or relaxing in a shady park.
2. Make time for loved ones. It’s easy to get caught up in our daily routines and miss out on quality time with friends and family. This summer, prioritize reconnecting with your loved ones through shared meals, game nights, movie nights, or simply picking up the phone for a catch-up call.
3. Prioritize sleep. During busy times, our sleep habits can suffer. Make an effort to establish a consistent sleep schedule and give your body the rest it deserves.

Most importantly, have fun and do something that brings you joy each day. Whether trying a new hobby, indulging in a favorite activity, or simply taking time to relax and unwind, make sure to prioritize your happiness this summer.

Care Solace

If you or a family member are struggling with mental health or substance use issues, remember that help is available. Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential coordination service provided by Bellevue School District, is available 24/7/365 throughout the summer to help you find mental health care or substance use treatment providers. Call 888-515-0595 for multilingual support or visit caresolace.com/bsd405 to search for providers on your own or receive assistance through video chat, email or phone.
