Free/Reduced Meal Benefits

Breakfast and lunch will no longer be free for all during the 2022-23 school year. Complete an Application for Educational Benefits as soon as possible to determine if your child qualifies for free meals this school year! In addition to free meals, qualified students will also receive discounts on athletic and activity fees, some technology fees, and Community Education and Preschool scholarships. Your application also helps the district qualify for additional funds to support students and educational programs.

A new Application for Educational Benefits form MUST be completed each school year and submitted to NPAS Nutrition Services for review and approval. It is critical that you submit your completed application as soon as possible. If you do not qualify now, you may apply at any time during the school year.
