Free and Reduced Lunch Application Reopened
We are aware that many families may be experiencing a reduction or loss of income due to the closures affecting all of us. Please know that we can continue to accept applications for free and reduced price meals during the school closure. You can apply on-line at: lunchapp.com. We realize that breakfast and lunch at school aren't currently available but there are many more benefits that are available for families based on free and/or reduced meals status. The district's summer lunch program is also based on free and reduced meal applications. Also, your children's status will be good for the first 30 days of the 2020-21 school year. We encourage you to apply, if your family situation has changed or you did not want to apply in the past. HASS will try to process all applications within 48 hours.
