The USDA approved California’s request to allow students fasting during Ramadan to take school meals home. Between February 23 and March 19, 2026, PUSD students who are fasting for Ramadan may pick up bagged, shelf-stable meals from their school cafeteria during the meal period, and bring them home for later. Parents/guardians must pre-register students for this option. Meals will be limited to foods and beverages that do not require refrigeration, so variety will be limited. Pre-registered students can choose to either eat the regular meals offered at school, or take home bagged meals for later, but not both.
DEADLINE EXTENDED: If your child(ren) will be fasting during Ramadan and you would like to register them for take-home meals, please complete the online form by Wednesday, February 11, 2026: Ramadan Meals Registration Form.
