Free & Reduced Meal Applications

PROGRAM INFORMATION:

All students must be enrolled with JC Schools prior to completion and submission of the application for free and reduced price meals.
The application for free and reduced price meals can be submitted for the 2025-2026 school year at any time throughout the school year.
We send out approval/denial letters via e-mail. Please check your email routinely to stay up to date on nutrition services information.
Parents and guardians are responsible for charges accumulated on their student(s) account prior to application processing.
A new application has to be completed each year.

We have both online and printable applications are available below for the school year 2025-2026!
