FEDERAL FREE MEAL WAIVERS EXPIRE FOR STUDENTS

The past two years, all students received free school meals due to USDA federal waivers. Unfortunately, these federal waivers have expired. Piedmont Schools is encouraging all families to complete a free and reduced meal application this year. It is more important now than ever before.

APPLY FOR FREE OR REDUCED-PRICED MEALS

Piedmont Public Schools offers free meals or reduced-priced meals to eligible students! Find out if your family qualifies and apply here.

IMPORTANT: Student information related to the Free and Reduced School Meal program is HIGHLY confidential. All students eating school meals receive the same lunch cards and meals.

ONLINE OR IN-PERSON

Completion of the online forms allows your application to be processed more quickly and efficiently. You are encouraged to complete an online application instead of a paper application if you are able. The online application has the same requirements and will ask you for the same information as the

paper application.

COMPLETE YOUR APPLICATION ONLINE HERE

We understand online applications are not always an option for our families. You can request an application in-person at your student's school site or at the PPS Administration office any time during the school year.

The federal Free & Reduced School Meal application impacts MUCH MORE than students eating low cost or free meals in our cafeterias. Our enrollment percentage in this program generates additional money and resources for students at Piedmont Schools!


  • Your student could receive nutritious meals for NO COST or at a significantly reduced cost.
  • The amount of money we receive from the federal government in our title programs is based on the percentage of students enrolled in the Free & Reduced program at PPS.
  • Our ability to apply for both state and federal grants that benefit many of the students at Piedmont Schools is directly tied to our Free & Reduced program enrollment numbers.
  • Enrollment in this program could make your home internet service more affordable.
