Free Meals Ending
With funding from a federal program, the District was able to serve free meals to ALL students ages 18 and under, regardless of meal status, for the past two years. That program is ending on the last day of the 2021-22 school year. Families who think they might qualify for free and reduced meals should apply for these benefits for the 2022-23 school year. If your child is eligible for free and reduced meal benefits and you apply, you can also receive additional benefits like fee waivers, activity scholarships, free screenings, school supplies, and more.
