🍎 Free & Reduced Meal Program – Apply Now!

Each year, families must complete a new Free & Reduced Meal Application to determine eligibility for the upcoming school year.

Completing the application is important for two reasons:

  1. It can lower your meal costs (or make them free).
  2. It helps our school receive additional state and federal funding for programs, services, and resources that benefit all students.

Even if you think you may not qualify, we encourage all families to apply.

🍎 Deadline to ensure uninterrupted benefits:

Submit by September 15 to be approved by October 1.

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!
 
Please make checks payable to "Perry Public Schools" and mail to the following address, or drop it off at the Child Nutrition office at 901 Elm St.
