As we gear up for another exciting school year, we want to make sure EVERY STUDENT gets the nutritious meals they deserve.
If you haven’t yet completed a Free or Reduced Meal application, now’s the perfect time to do so! Completing the application takes less than 10 minutes, and you only need to complete one meal application per family.
Don't know if you'd qualify? Take our easy online quiz to help determine your eligibility!
To get started, download and complete the application form linked at the bottom of this email or simply complete it online through your SKYWARD Family Access account. Once you’ve finished, drop off the form at your child’s school or at the District Office at 26920 Pioneer Hwy., Stanwood, WA 98292.
Please note: Before you dive in, take a peek at your Family Access account to see if you’ve already been approved through a recent DSHS download. If you have, you should have received a confirmation email or letter, and there’s no need to fill out another application.
Those who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals may also receive additional benefits such as reduced fees and other perks, such as discounts on your utility bills. A consent form to share your eligibility status may be needed to receive these benefits.
We’ll have more details about meal distribution on our school and district websites before the first bell rings. Thank you for helping us ensure that every student starts the school year with a full tummy and a big smile!
