If you are earning at or below current Income Eligibility Guidelines, we encourage you to contact your school to fill out a school meal application.

If you are receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, your child automatically qualifies for free school meals. Please contact your school to determine if you need to fill out an application.

You should know...

If you are eligible for unemployment compensation, you might also be eligible for free or reduced price school meals.

 

Please click on the links below to download the forms to apply for free/reduced price meals.  If you require an application in a language other than the ones listed below please follow this link: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/frp/frp.process.htm

These are also the forms you need to complete to apply for district scholarships for full-day kindergarten options and athletics.

 

Applications for meal benefits can be submitted anytime during the school year and families may qualify for free or reduced price meals if the total household income is within eligibility guidelines, or if the child receives MFIP or food stamps.  Children living in foster homes and students whose families have been temporarily displaced and are living with friends or relatives may also qualify.

The form is quick and easy to complete and is available at all Hopkins Public Schools, at the District Office at 1001 Highway 7, or by download at the link below.  All information is confidential.  Have questions?  You can contact our Student Account Manager at 952.988.5313.
