The eligibility scale to receive free or reduced lunches, as determined by the USDA, is based on household size and income. Many families qualify for the free and reduced meal program. Applications can be completed online through the Parent Portal on the school website.
Paper application copies can be obtained from each school site secretary or the Child Nutrition office, located in Perry High School, room 105. Parents or guardians must complete the application every new school year.
All applications completed for free and reduced meals directly help our school receive state aid funding, which ties into every district program and department, including instruction, athletics, technology, and other programs that benefit our students.
DONATIONS TO HELP STUDENTS COVER SCHOOL MEALS
While many families qualify for free or reduced school meals, there are still several families who don’t meet the eligibility and struggle to pay student meal balances. School meals are a great deal, but the cost can really add up!
The Perry Public Schools Child Nutrition Department is offering an opportunity for individuals and organizations interested in helping students in need cover unpaid school lunch balances. Patrons can donate funds to anonymously help students struggling with food insecurity. Whether it is a one-time donation or if patrons decide to give monthly, a donation of any size helps make a difference!
• $52.50 covers two weeks of meals for one student
• $105 covers one month of meals for one student
(Full pay breakfast and lunch for one student is $5.25 per day)
Please make checks payable to "Perry Public Schools" and mail to the following address, or drop it off at Perry High School.
