FREE AND REDUCED PRICE MEAL INFORMATION

2008-2009 Eligibility Guidelines Posted!

Eligible children can receive meals at school for free or at a reduced price.  An application must be completed and approved each school year.  Applications are sent home with students on the first day of school.  Please list all students in the household on one (1) application.  An application can be submitted at any time during the school year.  Applications are available at your child's school office or by contacting the Food Service Supervisor, Melaine Hill, at (717) 248-0148, extension 204.

IF YOU RECEIVED A LETTER, DATED AUGUST 6, 2008, STATING YOU WILL RECEIVE FREE MEALS, YOU DO NOT NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER APPLICATION.

Students approved for subsidized meals at another school district are not eligible in our district until an application has been received by the Mifflin County School District Food Service Department.

Students who are approved for free or reduced price meals can receive one (1) breakfast (where applicable), and one (1) lunch per day at their approved rate.   If a second meal is desired, the full rate must be paid.

Questions concerning the application approval process should be addressed to Melanie Hill at (717) 248-0148 ext. 204.

If you now receive Food Stamps, TANF Cash Assistance for your child, or if your child is a foster child, your child is eligible for free meals.  YOU MUST STILL COMPLETE AN APPLICATION.

If your total household income is the same or less than the amounts indicated below, your child may be eligible to receive free or reduced price meals.   The reduced price is $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch.
