MEALS ~ PRICES AND APPLICATIONS

Application for Free and Reduced Meals:
We encourage you to complete the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application form. The United States Department of Agriculture has not extended the meal waivers that were enacted to allow schools to provide delicious, nutritious meals for our students at no charge to families during the pandemic. To determine if your students are eligible for free or reduced-price meals, you are required to fill out the application. We encourage you to fill out the online Free and Reduced Priced Meal Application at PaySchools Central which is available at PaySchools, you can click on the links on the right to access our Online Free & Reduced Price Meals Application and the downloadable application. Paper applications can be picked up at the district office entrance hall or you can email Jill Lauter at jill.lauter@northcantonschools.org to request a paper or e-file application.

*Please note that the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application must be completed every school year and you can reapply as often as needed throughout the year if your household income amounts change.

Meal Account Payments
