The District offers healthy meals every school day. Children need healthy meals to learn.
There are other benefits for students at the secondary level that are only available to families who have applied and qualify. Some of these additional benefits include:
-AP Testing Fee Reduction
-ACT/SAT/PSAT Testing Fee Waivers
-College Application Fee Waivers
-50% fee reduction for summer school
-Continued free/reduced meals if funding is exhausted prior to the end of the school year
-30-day grace period where benefits continue at the start of the next school year
Even if you did not qualify in a previous year, family income levels and requirements change, so we encourage you to reapply this year. For those families that qualified in a previous year, a new application for each year must be completed per government regulations.
• Parents/Guardians are able to submit a Free or Reduced-Priced Meal Application for their school-age children at any time throughout the school year;
• If you previously applied for this benefit and did not qualify during the school year, you may apply again should your income change at any point during the school year;
• If you apply for free or reduced-price school meals online through COMPASS, you do not need to submit a paper application.
