School’s Back in Session with FREE Meals for All In School and
Remote Learning Students! Free Meals include both Breakfast and Lunch!
(available through December 31 t or until USDA funds are depleted)
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced that schools may extend the free meals program that our district participated in from March until June. This announcement means that all students age 18 and under will receive FREE meals regardless of eligibility status beginning Monday, September 14. This includes meals for students who pick up at our optional remote learning site or are eating in school. Per the
USDA, this program will be available through December 31, 2020, or until allocated Federal funding is depleted, whichever is sooner. We will continue to keep families updated if this occurs before December 31 st ,
Due to the limited time we anticipate funding may be available, it is important that families continue to submit updated free/reduced meal applications if there are any changes in household size or income. Confidential applications are accepted throughout the school year and, if approved, are effective through the last day of the 2020 2021 school year. Applications and instructions for applying can be found by visiting https://www.johnstonschools.org/departments/food_services/free_reduced_meal_field_trip_forms
Please note we are only able to provide free meals to children 18 and under and will only be provided as a complete meal per program guidelines. All extra items, including milk to accompany a lunch brought from home or ala carte, are not included in this program. We encourage families to put money in their secondary student’s accounts in order to purchase extra items. For safety reasons we discourage the use of cash.
