SCHOOL FOOD

Although our physical building is closed, Rainier Prep WILL be providing both breakfast and lunch while remote.

We will be distributing meal boxes once a week. Rainier Prep will distribute meals every Monday from 2-4 unless otherwise communicated. If there is a no school on Monday, meals will be distributed the following school day from 2-4. Each box contains 5 breakfast and 5 lunch meals. Students do not need to be present to pick up meals and can be picked up by parents or other family members. Rainier Prep only needs to record the student’s name and ID number.

Please refer to the flyers below for more information regarding meal distribution and the meal boxes families will receive. If you think you will not be able to make this distribution time, please call our front office.

If you are enrolled for the 2020-21 school year, please print and fill out the meal application for this year below. Please send the completed application to Rainier Prep at 10211 12th Ave S, Seattle, WA 98168.
