FREE & REDUCED MEALS

Your children may qualify for free or reduced-price school meals. State funds help to pay for reduced-price school meals, so all students who are approved for either free or reduced-price school meals will receive school meals at no charge. State funds also help to pay for breakfasts for kindergarten students, so all participating kindergarten students receive breakfasts at no charge.

Who can get free school meals?

Children in households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), and foster, homeless, migrant and runaway children can get free school meals without reporting household income. Or children can get free school meals if their household income is within the maximum income shown for their household size on the instructions.

I get WIC or Medical Assistance. Can my children get free school meals?

Children in households participating in WIC or Medical Assistance may be eligible for free school meals. Please fill out an application.

Who should I include as household members?

Include yourself and all other people living in the household, related or not (such as grandparents, other relatives, or friends).

May I apply if someone in my household is not a U.S. citizen?

Yes. You or your children do not have to be U.S. citizens for your children to qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.

What if my income is not always the same?

List the amount that you normally get. If you normally get overtime, include it, but not if you get overtime only sometimes. For seasonal work, write in the total annual income.

Will the information I give be checked?

Yes, and we may also ask you to send written proof.

How will the information be kept?

Information you provide on the form, and your child’s approval for school meal benefits, will be protected as private data. For more information see the back page of the Application for Educational Benefits.

If I don’t qualify now, may I apply later?

Yes. Please complete an application at any time if your income goes down, your household size goes up, or you start getting SNAP, MFIP or FDPIR benefits.

Application for Educational Benefits 2022-23

To apply, complete the Application for Educational Benefits following the instructions. A new application must be submitted each year. Your application also helps the school qualify for education funds and discounts.

HEALTHY SNACK IDEAS

Nutrition Philosophy During Students’ School Day

School meals are the main source of nutrition. Snacks are to:

  1. Supplement the meal
  2. Help, not hinder, students’ nutrition
  3. Provide serving size and calories based on age/activity
  4. Be consumed infrequently

A healthy eating plan:

  • Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk products. (Combine them in your snacks for interesting variety!)
  • Includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. (Add these to your whole grains and veggies for a mini meal.)
  • Is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.

Try these tasty and easy snacks to satisfy your hunger between meals. They fit right into a healthy eating plan. Each has 150-200 or fewer calories. The key is to pay attention to portion sizes. Read the label and snack on single portions.
