School Meal Costs Returning for the 2022-2023 School Year

In June 2022, Congress did not extend federal school meal waivers. This means that school meals will no longer be free to all students, for the 2022-2023 school year. Households will need to complete a new Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals, if they wish to receive benefits. 

To review our meal and a la carte prices, simply click on the "Pricing Information" Tab (to the right) for more information. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Meals are no longer free for all students
  • Families who would like to apply for Free or Reduced status should visit our Infinite Campus Parent Portal to fill out a 2022-2023 online application.
  • You only need to submit one application per household.
  • Only students with approved applications will receive free or reduced-price meals.
  • Families who do not qualify for free meals will be responsible for paying for their child(ren)'s meals at reduced or paid rates.
  • Many of our school funding sources are heavily impacted by the number of qualified applicants, even if you never take advantage of the program.
  • After August 1, 2022; Paper Applications can be requested from any of our school offices on campus.

For more information about the Child Nutrition or Food Service Program and the Free or Reduced-Price Meal Application process, please contact us during business hours after July 18, 2022.
