Parents, we have enjoyed serving all of our students breakfast and lunch at no-cost the past two years, but current guidance from USDA does not allow us to serve free meals to all students in the 2022-2023 School Year.  

It is encouraged that you fill out our online free and reduced meal application for your family.  Any free or reduced meal application completed in the 2021-2022 school year and is given an eligibility of free or reduced will carry over into the 2022-2023 School Year for the first 30 days of school or until a new application is processed (whichever occurs first).  

Please remember that info received from these applications is directly tied to some of our district's grant funding. You can easily complete the application at our website:
