Fremont Public Schools is announcing open registration for the Free and Reduced Meal Program for the 2023-2024 school year.
The program, in alignment with the National School Lunch Program, aims to provide free and reduced-price meals to eligible students, ensuring that every child has access to nutritious meals during the school day.
Families must complete a new application every school year to participate in the Free/Reduced program. For the first 30 school days of the upcoming year, students’ meal status will remain the same as the previous year. However, starting from Sept. 27, full payment for meals will be required if a new application is not submitted on time.
Free and Reduced Meal Program applications will be processed within five school days. Families can submit their applications any time during the school year, or if there has been a change in income.
All families must complete a new application annually, with the application available from July 1 of each year for the upcoming school year. If your child receives benefits such as State SNAP, or State TANF, you do not need to apply. To see if you qualify, you can view the Income Eligibility Guidelines.
Students in all grades are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. The reduced meal prices will be $0.30 for breakfast and $0.40 for lunch. Extra items beyond the regular meal will be subject to additional charges.
To apply for the Free and Reduced Meal Program, families have two options:
Online application: Families can visit the website https://fremontapps.schoollunchapp.com to set up an account and access the application.
Paper application: Paper applications will be available at each school.
