    How do I know if my child qualifies for the program?
    Household size and income criteria are used to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits if the household does not receive assistance or the children are not in the other categories mentioned above. Children can get free or reduced-price meals if the household’s gross income falls at or below the limits on the Federal Income Eligibility Guideline chart.

    To determine whether your child/children are eligible for discounted meal pricing, you must complete a Free and Reduced Price School Meals Household Application. Applications become available online 30 days before the start of the school year (Complete an application at ). Once school has started, the application is also available in the school cafeteria, your school's front office, or here at the Food & Nutrition Department office. 

    Applications are processed within 10 days of receipt. A notification letter will be sent to the address listed on the application to inform you of your child/children’s eligibility status once eligibility has been determined.

    My child/children qualified for the program last year; do I need to complete a new application?

    Yes. Students who participated in the Meal Assistance program last school must reapply each school year. Students who participated in the meal assistance program in the 2022-2023 school year will be eligible for the same benefits in the first 30 days of the 2023-2024 school year only.

    All students must submit a new application by September 11, 2023 to continue receiving benefits, if eligible. If a new application is not received by September 12, 2023 students will pay the full meal price starting September 12, 2023.

     
    If you are new to 香港六合彩资料, your eligibility from your previous school does not carry over.  Families are responsible for any charges accrued on a students' account until an approved application is on file.
