Free/Reduced School Meals

 

Many of our free/reduced eligible families are qualified for free or reduced meals under the Direct Certification program and a paper application is not required. These families will receive a letter prior to the start of the school year which will acknowledge their free/reduced status.

 

For those families who have qualified for free/reduced lunches by filing an application in the past, we strongly encourage you to complete your 24-25 application as soon as possible so your status is correct and updated for the first day of the school year. And remember – those eligible and approved for reduced-priced lunches not be charged for lunches in the 2024-25 school year.  It is very important that we receive your Free/Reduced Meal Application in order for it to be processed before school starts on August 29, 2024. If your application is not on file, your child will be charged for any food they purchase in our school buildings. It will be your obligation to pay for any charges on their school meal account.

 

Applications can be completed online at: https://www.schoolcafe.com/Pennsvalley Paper applications are also available in our school offices.
