Free and Reduced Meals

How do I apply to receive free or reduced meals?

  • Automatic: Many families qualify automatically through a system called 'Direct Certification' which connects to state systems to identify eligible students.

    • Families who qualify automatically will receive a letter around the end of July indicating eligibility

  • Manual: Families who do not receive a letter in July may apply manually on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal or print and complete a paper application (paper applications are also available at all district schools and the district Central Office)

    • Please wait until August 15 to apply for an upcoming school year and only apply if you have not received a letter in the mail

    • The online application can be found in the parent portal under More -> Meal Benefits
