Three smiling children enjoy a school lunch, with a message about free and reduced-priced meals.
Reminder: It’s time to apply for free & reduced-price meals for the new school year! Applications must be completed every year, even if you’re unsure you’ll qualify or your school offers free meals for all students. Submitting your form helps keep benefits, avoids meal debt, and supports important school funding.

How to Apply (if you haven't done so already)
The applications are now available online in Skyward Family Access.  You only need to fill out one application for all of the members of your family. Here's how to apply online:
  1. Visit Skyward Family Access. Enter your login and password the school has provided. If you need your account information, please call your school.
  2. Select Food Service on the left side of the screen
  3. Choose a Child  
  4. Select the Applications Tab
  5. Click Add Application
  6. Follow the instructions on the left-hand side of the screen. Instructions are listed on each page. Click the Next button at the top of each page to be sure you are completing all the required steps.
Even if your student's school receives free meals, applications must still be submitted by all families every year to maintain the program for future years. Apply early so no one gets left out! More details are available on our Free & Reduced Meals page on the district website.
