This bulletin includes information regarding the lunch programs that are offered to your student at their school. Please make sure you read all the information that pertains to your student.
Families that have children attending a public school district can apply for free or reduced price school meals through the National School Lunch Program online using COMPASS. COMPASS allows Pennsylvanian’s to apply for social service programs, such as Food Stamps (FS), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Energy Assistance, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), etc., online. Families can use COMPASS to apply for free or reduced price school meals only, or they can apply for other services at the same time (FS, TANF, etc.). The website is www.compass.state.pa.us or you can continue to use the paper “Household Meal Benefits Application” which is supplied in this packet. If you apply for free or reduced price school meals through COMPASS, you do not need to submit a paper application.
Good nutrition is essential to growing children. The food service staff is dedicated to helping develop healthy eating habits for everyone in the district.
Your comments and questions are always welcome.
