National School Lunch Program

Meal App Now. Only one application per household is required. The computerized systems at the schools ensure student confidentiality in that they will not be identified as participating in the free or reduced price program. All students pay for meals or access their meal accounts in the same manner, using their student ID numbers. Call 830-460-3896 X 2502 for more information.
