Free/reduced applications for the 2018-19 school year will be mailed to all district households the first weekend of August. The online application will be available August 7. You will need your student’s 8-digit ID number for the online application.

Last year’s eligibility is good through Oct. 9, or until a new application is received. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Parents are encouraged to submit applications early. Applications received after Aug. 23 may not be processed by the first day of school.

Some families have been automatically qualified for free or reduced meals already through the direct certification process. If you receive a notification letter saying your child has automatically qualified, then you do not need to submit an application. Please check the letter carefully to make sure all your children are listed.

The following schools will provide free meals to all their students as part of the district's participation in the federally-funded Community Eligibility Provision. Families with children at those schools do not need to apply for free or reduced price meals unless they also have students at non-CEP schools.

  • Jason Lee Elementary
  • Jefferson Elementary
  • Lewis & Clark Elementary
  • Marcus Whitman Elementary
  • River's Edge High School

Families may download the So Happy app for their smart phone for free to have quick access to menus at their child's school, including nutritional information and potential food allergens. That information is also available on the Sodexo website.

Questions? Contact Nutrition Services at (509) 967-6114.
