Free & Reduced Meal Program

A new application for meal benefits must be filled out and turned in for each school year. Only one application is needed per household, unless the application is for a foster child, runaway, homeless or migrant student. Eligible students may receive meal benefits on the previous year's status only until September 29, 2023. After October 2, 2023, eligible students without a processed application on file will no longer be eligible for the free and reduced meal benefits and will be placed on full pay status. Please note you are responsible for all charges to your students account before your student has been accepted as a free or reduced student.

Other Benefits
Applying for the meal program provides other opportunities for High School students: fee waived for SAT, ACT testing, college applications, reduced summer school program fees, reduced fees for AP test. May qualify you for discounted rates on internet service. Student participation information is confidential. Please see More than a school meal application below.
