- Parents only need to fill out one Meal Application for the household. If you have children in different schools, you still only need to fill out and return one application. If you need another application, please contact our school office.

- Once you submit an application, you will receive a notice in the mail as to whether your child or children can receive free or reduced-price meals at your school.
- If you know that your household will not qualify for free or reduced-price meals, please complete the form by checking the “Do not wish to apply” box, writing your student(s) name on the form, signing it and returning it. This will help prevent any further calls or requests for the form.
