The USDA has made the decision to not continue the program, started during the pandemic, which provided free breakfast and lunch to all students.

This means that beginning with the start of the 22/23 school year, families must qualify for free/reduced meals either by direct certification (if your family receives SNAP/WIC benefits), or by completing the free/reduced lunch form and meeting eligibility requirements.

Paper and online applications for the 22/23 school year are now available at the following link:

Families choosing to complete a paper application may return it to their child's school, or to the Board Office at the middle school.
