Free/Reduced Meals

Why Apply for Free/Reduced Meals:

  1. Helps all families at Crescent School District with meal costs
  2. Allows the school to be reimbursed from state and federal sources for students/families who qualify.
  3. Helps the school with accurate data to possibly qualify for additional funding, so returning an application, regardless of eligibility, helps ALL of the students at the school.

Application Processing & Flexibility in Eligibility

Prior-year Free/Reduced Application Expires 30 School Days into the New School Year

Free/Reduced applications from the prior year (23/24) expire on October 8, 2024.  Families must re-apply for the 24/25 school year.  If a new application has not been received by the office by October 8, 2024, student eligibility will be updated to paid meals starting October 14, 2024.

Automatic Eligibility for Most Students on SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, or Tribal Benefits

If your student is receiving benefits through SNAP, TANF, Medicaid, or other state or tribal program, you will be notified of automatic eligibility for free or reduced meals.  If you believe your student should be receiving free or reduced meals based on his/her enrollment in one of these programs, but are not receiving free meals, please contact Ashley Petersen at 360.928.3311 ext 1005.
