Community Eligibility Coming 2024-25 School Year
All Molalla River Schools will provide breakfast and lunch to students without collecting any fees.
This program change was approved by the Oregon Department of Education. Molalla River Schools is eligible for the program because the percentage of students who qualify for reduced priced meals has grown to meet the requirements.
The reasons for offering food without charging families include:
- Food and nutrition are important for student development and performance.
- Food prices have soared and many households are experiencing food insecurity.
- The District has a large burden of work to track who eats a meal, related charges, and collection of fees.
Fine Print - Important to Know:
Food charges will remain for:
- Milk a la carte. In order for a meal to be reimbursed in the program a full meal must be received. A student who asks for an additional milk or milk with a breakfast or lunch from home will be charged.
- Multiple meals. Second meals are not reimbursed by the program.
- Adult meals - we welcome guests at lunchtime for special occasions. The program does not reimburse for adult meals (staff or guests).
Molalla River Schools can focus on education and learning and making meaningful connections with students at school, including meal time. Given the current pricing of food we hope this program will meet the needs of our students and be seen as a benefit to our families.

In Case You Missed It
Summer School (registration required)
- Teachers have emailed information.
- Bus Schedules are on web
These are currently under construction with an anticipated completion date of July 15. The first photo below is the new site layout/design. Molallariverschools.org
The second photo is the old website design. Molallariv.k12.or.us
- The old address (k12) will point to the new sites as soon as that coordination with our IT providers and the new web vendor is completed.
- The old website vendor is no longer our vendor and we anticipate that vendor turning them off soon. If the old sites disappear before the redirect is complete you will get an error message.
- Google searches will also put molallariveschools.org at the top once the search engine optimization gets smarter.
If you just want it now, there is a free mobile app in the Google and Apple stores.
Thank you for your patience during this transition.
