We ask all families to submit a school meal application to ensure all students have continued access to our nutritious meals.

The school meal applications are used for much more than just certifying students for free or reduced-price school meals.  Filling out an application can help your family and the district by:

• Making the district eligible for additional funding from state and federal programs.
• Qualify your family for discount rates on home internet service.
• Qualify you for reduced registration fees on AP, SAT, and/or ACT tests.  
• It may also qualify you for discounted rates associated with college admissions.

Every eligible form counts and adds valuable resources to our district. Parents can begin applying for meal applications for the 2023-2024 school year starting today. The application is located in the Family Portal. Once your account has been created, you also can add money to your student's lunch account to purchase a la carte items (not covered under free meals).
