The universal free meals waiver with USDA has expired. Beginning the 2022-2023 school year meals will be charged to the student accounts.

Please set up your student's meal account or apply for free meals through the Titan Program Website. TTSD is no longer using the My School Bucks Program. All funds that were in your student's account with Myschoolbucks have been carried over and will be accessed through Titan.

See the Expanded Income Guidelines here for more income guidelines. Oregon has expanded the income guidelines so more families will qualify. Even if you have not qualified before, you may now. (Example: A family of four with a combined household income of less than $83,250 would qualify for free meals.)

Some reminders:

• A new meal application is needed to apply each school year.
• 1 application per household.
• Families can apply anytime during the school year if their economic status has changed.
