ONLINE FARMS APPS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!

www.MySchoolApps.com is NOW OPEN for parents to complete and submit the 2023–2024 Online Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals!

FAMILIES CAN APPLY NOW & AVOID LONGER PROCESSING TIMES IN THE FALL!

REMINDERS FOR SCHOOLS:

Please immediately discard all application forms from previous years. As federal government information on the application changes every year, only the 2023–2024 applications may be used.
The online application should be encouraged as the primary method to apply for FARMS. Households that complete an online application DO NOT need to submit a paper application. A small supply of 2023–2024 paper application forms in English and Spanish will be distributed to all MCPS Schools close to the first day of school. Paper applications should only be distributed to parents/guardians who request a paper application.
Translations in other languages are available through the online application.
How-to videos for the online FARMS application in English and Spanish are below and may be shared with families who need assistance

SchoolCash Online

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Montgomery County Public Schools has transitioned to a online payment system called SchoolCash Online as its preferred method of payment for all school-related fees.

SchoolCash Online helps parents/guardians and community members pay school-related fees safely, quickly, and easily. SchoolCash Online will help increase efficiency and security at schools by making payments directly into schools’ bank accounts and eliminating the need for teachers to handle money. In addition, once registered, you will be immediately informed about school activities!

Powered by KEV Group, SchoolCash Online is the industry leader in the management of school fees. The new system puts all of the school-related fees online for purchase so users can make purchases online using a credit card or e-check. A processing fee will be included on all items available for purchase, regardless of the type of payment used on SchoolCash Online or at the school.

Parents/guardians can register now at - Click here
