2023-24 School Supply Lists

Cafeteria & Student Meals 2023-2024

There will be new State funding for School meals. The processes are not finalized by the state yet, but this is what has been decided so far:

Applications will still be required for the free/reduced meals. This allows Saint Agnes to still apply for grants and scholarships that are based on the percentage of free/reduced students (based on federal qualified applications) attending. It also allows us to receive the federal funds for the school meals. The new state funding will cover the difference. There are several other education benefits to Saint Agnes based on the number of approved applications. There are several fees (such as some testing fees) which are waived for qualifying students.

Households which don’t qualify for the federal free/reduced program do not need to fill out the paperwork; they will be set up for the State free meal program. But if you do qualify for the free/reduced program, please plan to fill out the necessary application. Saint Agnes relies on the several hundred thousand dollars we receive annually from the need-based grants & scholarships--this helps us keep the tuition as low as possible for everyone. Applications for 2023-24 will be available after July 1 and we will let you know as we obtain more details.

The new State funding covers the regular school meal, which includes a single serving of the regular meal with the salad bar and one milk. Extra entrée’s, extra milk or milk with lunch from home will remain the responsibility of the parents.  Students will still be using their pin numbers as they move through the lunch line.
