District Updated Information

Schools with Free Meals for All Students

What is a Community Eligibility Provision School?

A community eligibility provision (CEP) school is for schools that have a 40 percent or higher number of students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch.

CEP schools offer free meals (breakfast and lunch) for all students.

Does our family complete the school meal application?

Yes. Families at these schools should still complete the free student meals application to help our schools maintain federal and state funded programs.

Why is this survey important?

The School Meals Application provides your student’s school with a way to collect household income information. This information is important because it helps your school receive federal and state funding.

In addition to healthy and nutritious meals, the School Meals Application also helps to fund school programs, such as:

• Before-school and after-school enrichment programs
• School counselors
• Health and wellness services
• Resources for classrooms and teachers

Please complete the Online School Meal Application form (linked below).

Families with multiple students will only complete this form once. The form is simple to fill out and confidential. The information will only be used to help your school receive funding from state and federal programs.
