FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH INFORMATION
SCHOOL FEE WAIVER INFORMATION
Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year.
Once again we have the ability to apply for Free and Reduced Lunch ON-LINE. We are encouraging you do this as you have the benefit of knowing whether you have been approved right away.
Please review the following information carefully. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunches also qualify for free Fee’s.
A NEW APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED AND APPROVED FOR THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE WAIVER FOR FREE OR REDUCED FEES.
There are two methods for qualification:
Direct Certification
A. If you received a letter stating your student is ELIGIBLE FOR DIRECT CERTIFICATION, YOU DO NOT need to fill out an application for free and reduced lunches. Your student is automatically eligible for free lunches and the fee waiver. You will however need to sign and date the (colored copy) letter you received and return the letter to your school office to have your Fees waived. Keep the white copy for your own records. You should be able to access your student’s information on-line as soon as the information is available or at your school’s registration in August.
B. All children living in the household with a student who qualifies under Direct Certification are also eligible for Free Lunches and fee waivers. Please contact Food Service Supervisor Debbie Seifert on (330) 854-5453.
If there are additions in the household that were not listed in the letter.
