Federal funding for all students to receive free school meals is no longer available to school districts. This means that students must either pay for school meals or qualify for free or reduced-price school meals for the 2022-23 school year.

School meal prices for the 2022-23 school year are:

Student Breakfast (all grades)	$2.00
Student Lunch (grades pk-5)	$3.00
Student Lunch (grades 6-12)	$3.25

There is a possibility that your child may qualify for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). To find out if the children in your household are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, simply complete the Application for Free and Reduced-Price Meals online or paper form.

Here is some important information about applying for free and reduced-price meals:

Any family can apply. There is no penalty for families who apply and do not qualify.
Families who have not qualified in the past may qualify this year, as income eligibility qualifications have been adjusted.
The application and free or reduced-price meal status are completely confidential. Teachers, administrators, and fellow students do not have access to this information and will have no way of knowing which children receive free and reduced-price meals.
Children who receive free or reduced-price meals have the same food options as children who do not. There are no “special lunch lines” or different menu items for these students.
Qualifying for free and reduced-price meals may provide access to many additional benefits, including:
- Pandemic EBT benefits
- Reduced registration fees for AP, SAT, and/or ACT tests
- Free or discounted participation fees for activities
- Discounted rates associated with college applications
- Discounted rates on internet services
