Free & Reduced Lunch
The Free and Reduced Lunch application must be completed at the beginning of each school year.
- The online application form is available 24/7 and is a secure environment. As a reminder, please only complete one application per household, receiving more than one application from a household will delay the processing.
- Parents are welcome to complete and submit an online application form at any time.
- When you submit your online form, please make sure you receive a confirmation number.
- Later, you will be able to use this number to find out the status of your child’s online application.
- Please note that all online applications submitted this summer will not be processed until a few weeks prior to the beginning of school. However, your child’s approved Free or Reduced eligibility status will be available on the first day of school.
- As a reminder, SY23-24 Free and Reduced eligibility status will carry over for the first 30 school days of SY25 (through 9/16).
If you have other questions or need this information in other languages, please contact the Free and Reduced Help Line at 678-301-6307.
