The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools and residential child care institutions. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to children each school day. The program was established under the National School Lunch Act, signed by President Harry Truman in 1946.

In order for your child to receive free or reduced lunch, the following application, Free and Reduced Price Lunch Form, must be downloaded, filled out completely, and returned to school. You will receive notification from the school lunchroom manager once your application has been processed.
