Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are school meals free for all students?

Do I still need to complete the Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application if meals are free?
Yes. While no student pays for meals, completing the application ensures the school receives full federal funding and access to additional academic resources.
How are food allergies handled?
If your child has a food allergy, please notify the school immediately and submit documentation from a healthcare provider. We will work with families to create a safe meal plan.
Can my child bring lunch from home?
Yes. Students may bring their meals; however, we encourage participation in our nutritious school meal program.
Why do families still need to apply?
Even though meals are free, all families must submit a Free & Reduced-Price Meal Application each school year. These applications help the school maintain federal funding and qualify for additional educational programs.
