2022 Summer Food Program:
Did you know that when school is out for the summer, Canyons District students can still get school breakfast and lunch? In fact, all children 18 years and younger are eligible to receive nutritional meals free of charge through Canyons’ federally-approved Summer Food Service Program.
The 2022 Summer Food program will begin on June 1 and run through July 29. Unlike the pandemic, when sack meals were distributed curbside, these meals will be served inside school cafeterias at four, centrally-located sites. At all sites, Monday through Friday, breakfast will be served from 8:15 to 9:15 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
- East Midvale Elementary, 6990 S. 300 East, Midvale
- Midvale Elementary, 7830 South Chapel Street, Midvale
- Sandy Elementary, 8725 S. 280 East, Sandy
- Midvalley Elementary, 217 E. 7800 South, Midvale
*There will be no meal service on July 4 and July 25 when Canyons schools close in observance of national and state holidays.
Next school year, lunch will resume to paid lunch. If you qualify for free or reduced lunch you must fill out the form on skyward before the school year starts, for instructions please see here: https://bit.ly/HHSFreeReducedLunch
Our Hillcrest Free Market will be open for students and families this summer.

Textbooks must be turned in by Thursday, May 19th.
Seniors must check-in Chromebooks by May 18th. They should bring them to the library.
