Free and Reduced Meals Program
Free and reduced price meals are available to families who believe they may qualify. If your family chooses to apply, please complete our online family meal application. Once the application has been received the district School Nutrition office will determine your eligibility and send you a letter with the results.
For those that prefer a paper application, you may print one from the link below or request one from your school cafeteria manager. Return completed applications to the cafeteria manager. Please be advised that paper applications may take up to 10 days to be processed- online applications are processed immediately!
Until notification, you must provide your child with breakfast and lunch or money to purchase meals.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
During the 2024-2025 School Year, households that qualify for reduced meal benefits will not be required to pay the reduced price $0.30 for breakfast and the $0.40 for lunch due to the State of Georgia budget covering these costs.
Why Apply for Free and Reduced Meals?
Families that apply and are eligible for free or reduced price meals can also use their notification letter as proof of eligibility in the meal program for discounts on various other state or federally funded school benefits.

Increased funding to support student education
Additional funding for technology and internet access
Discounts for fees associated with college application processes
Discounted fees for SAT, ACT, and AP tests, plus scholarship opportunities
