Your children may qualify to receive free or reduced-price school meals. Students in all grade levels from pre-K through high school are eligible if your family meets the income guidelines.

Students who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals may also be eligible to receive fee reductions or waivers for other services if you print, sign and submit the "Permission to Share" form. Eligibility for free and reduced price meals may improve your child's status in the School Choice lottery.
NOTICE - You must give signed permission to use free and reduced eligibility status by checking box #11 (transfer to a school of choice) on the 3rd page of the 4-page application below.
