Returning student registration for the upcoming school year is now available! Completing this process fulfills our annual residency verification expectation and ensures we have accurate emergency contact information for each student.
Step 1: Application for Free or Reduced Priced Meals through the USDA
Free and Reduced Price Meals are available to families who qualify. A household of four with a total household monthly pre-tax take-home income of $4,279.00, or $51,338 annually, would qualify for benefits. Household size is considered all persons, related or unrelated: Including parents, children, grandparents who live in your home and share living expenses. The total household income is the income each household member received last month before taxes - this includes wages, social security, pension, unemployment, welfare, child support, alimony, and any other cash income.

Although pandemic provisions expired there are many other important benefits for qualified students and their communities.
