Free & Reduced Price Meals

Note: If your child attends one of the following schools, please visit our Community Eligibility Provision page to learn about free meals at your school:

  • Barker Creek
  • Esquire Hills
  • Fairview
  • PineCrest
  • Woodlands

If your child does not attend these schools, you can apply for the Free or Reduced Price Meal Program at any time during the school year. The federal government sets eligibility guidelines based on household income and size.

Reduced price lunches for grade K–12  are free. Reduced price breakfasts for grades K–12 are free.

Read our Welcome Letter.pdf for information about the Free & Reduced Price Meal Program, our Meal Charging Policy, and your child's School Child Nutrition Account.
