The WCSD Food and Nutrition Department is accepting free and reduced meal applications online.  The online applications enable parents to complete and submit the applications faster, while allowing Food and Nutrition Services to approve the applications in a more timely manner.  The application can be accessed from any computer with internet capabilities.  Food and Nutrition services is happy to bring this technology to our families to ensure that students receive meal benefits as quickly as possible.  The online applications are secure, and the application is confidential.  Please remember, if your child qualifies for meal benefits, these benefits are available for breakfast and lunch.

A paper application will be made available upon request. Students who were on free/reduced breakfast/lunch the preceding year will be considered at the same status for the first 30 school days.  By the 31st school day ( September 21st), a new completed breakfast/lunch form must have been submitted/returned to the school for the free or reduced status to continue.  If not, the student will have to pay full price for breakfast and lunch until the form is completed and returned.

We do not have the funds to allow students to charge lunches, but we are aware that unforeseen events may occur.  If a student does not have lunch money, every effort will be made to contact the parent/guardian.  Arrangements such as an alternative lunch (sandwich) will be made on an individual basis if the student’s parent/guardian can’t be reached.  Parents/guardians should take responsibility for monitoring their child’s lunch account.  If a parent/guardian email address is available, they will be notified by email of account charges and delinquencies, account balances, and account credits to student accounts.

If students choose to bring their lunch, they may do so.  No food in advertised wrappers will be allowed (i.e., food in a Hardee’s or other “named” wrapper).   

Questions regarding student lunch/breakfast accounts should be directed to the school lunchroom manager, Mrs. Mary Jo Averell at (850) 892-1221, extension 3215.
