Information Regarding Free & Reduced Application Process
Updated Free & Reduced Application Process from Nutrition Services Parents, guardians and caregivers will be able to complete these forms beginning August 1 using QuickApps as part of the PaySchools parent portal. Parents may apply for Free/Reduced meals (or re-apply if their economic situation changes) at any time throughout the school year at Payschoolscentral.com, or you can obtain a paper application from your child's school. Please keep in mind that any charges that occur prior to the approval of an application will be the responsibility of the parent to pay. Families are required to complete and submit a current school year free/reduced meal application if they would like to see if their students qualify based on income or category eligibility. The first 30 days of the school year will carry over the meal status from 24-25 school year. School meals are offered to all students, unless you mark restrictions in the parent portal of your payschools' account. Any negative balances accrued are the responsibility of the parent to pay during that school year. Please remember to mark the fee waiver portion of the application or return your District Certification paper filled out. Please apply quickly as approved applications cannot be backdated to cover charges made prior to approval.
Continuing this year, the Ohio Budget Bill will fully subsidize meals for students who qualify as "reduced" but not "free". This means that student's breakfast (if applicable) and lunch will be provided at no cost. Please note that if a child requests a second meal, it will not be covered as part of the program. Qualifying for reduced meals does not automatically qualify your child for waived fees
Please come back in the spring for more information about Summer Feeding.
If you have questions about the process of the application, please contact Kim Gregory at the contact information provided below.
"Offer v Serve" Program Information
We implement a program called "Offer versus Serve" in all of our lunchrooms. This initiative aims to reduce food waste by giving children the choice to select three out of the five meal components available at a lunch. While students have this flexibility, we encourage them to choose all five components for a more balanced and nutritious meal.
Students must take 1/2 cup of fruit and/or vegetable to count as a meal.
The five meal components are:
- Meat / Meat Alternative: Minimum of 1oz. serving grades K-8 daily; 9 weekly. Minimum 2oz. serving grades 9-12 daily; 10 weekly. Meat/Meat alternatives consist of lean meat, cheese, eggs, beans, yogurt, no nut butter or seeds
- Grains/Breads: Minimum 1 serving (1oz. equivalent) daily with a minimum of 8 weekly for grades K-8; Minimum 2 servings daily with minimum 10 weekly for grades 9-12.
- Fruits: Minimum 1/2 cup for grades K-8 daily; 1 cup for grades 9-12 daily.
- Vegetables: Minimum 3/4 cup for grades K-8 daily; 1 cup for grades 9-12. All grades require selections from five different subgroups (dark-green leafy, red/orange, beans/legumes, starchy, other) to meet this component.
- Fluid Milk: Minimum 8oz. for grades K-12 daily.
