Breakfast/Lunch:
We are excited to announce that all students in the Harlem School District will now be eligible to receive free breakfast and lunch meals through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), as authorized by the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. This provision allows our students to receive free meals starting this school year until the end of the 2025-2026 school year.
The CEP does not cover ala carte items or individually purchased items such as milk. Milk only does have a .40 cent charge.

Parker Center Quality Confirmation Certificate
Congratulations to our Prevention Initiative Program! The Harlem Consolidated School District 122's Prevention Initiative Program has earned a Quality Confirmation designation for its early childhood Baby TALK program. Harlem's Prevention Initiative program is the latest to be added to the list of confirmed programs across the state of Illinois using the Baby TALK Family Engagement Model.
Our District began the Baby TALK Quality process earlier this year. The process included reflection and supportive preparation, a virtual-site review including interviews with staff and families and a final designation. This designation is a sign of our program's commitment to the children and families in our district. This Quality Confirmation designation will be valid for 5 years.
