School Lunch Information

Lunch applications for 2024-2025 are available NOW!

Only one application needs to be completed for each household.  Students who attend an approved CEP school (Central Elementary, Efland Cheeks Elementary, New Hope Elementary and Partnership Academy) do not need to fill out an application as they are approved for meals at no cost.

Or, you may print or download a 2024-2025 Meal Application packet here:

Paper applications may also be obtained from the front office or cafeteria of your student’s school site.

If you are completing a paper application, please submit it to the school cafeteria or mail to:

A letter regarding the status of your student’s meal application will be sent home and emailed within 10 working days after the application is submitted,
