Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) provides the “After-School Meals
Program,” a sub-component of the Child Care Food Program under the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA), in over 285 schools and announces the
implementation of an additional location starting September 1, 2026, at South Dade
Senior High School (28401 SW 167 Avenue, Miami, FL 33030).
The after-school meals program ensures that students participating in regularly
scheduled educational or enrichment activity programs after school receive the nutrition
they need to learn and grow. After-school meals must meet all USDA requirements and
include fresh fruits and vegetables.
The after-school meals and Saturday meals are available at no separate charge,
regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age, to children enrolled in
after-school care programs or Saturday Academy at the site mentioned above. For
specific details, please contact the school directly.
New after-school educational or enrichment programs and Saturday Academies that
start anytime during the 2026-27 school year may request after-school meals for
students enrolled in their program by contacting the M-DCPS Department of Food and
Nutrition.
After-school enrichment activities can be found at: nutrition.dadeschools.net
