If you would like to have a blank Free and Reduced application mailed home to you, please call 253-945-5555. All families that qualified for free and reduced meal benefits last year will have a grace period for them to fill out a new application for this school year. The grace period will run out as of October 15th.

 

Please send in your renewal early as it can take up to a week to approve applications, due to the volume received. If families do not renew their application and receive approval, meal benefits will cease, and the student will be a paid student as of October 16th.

 

Confidential assistance is available by calling the Central Kitchen, 253-945-5555. All students who are on the free and reduced program use their student number to obtain meals. This is the same as for paying students who also use their student number to obtain meals.
