Free & Reduced-Price Applications
Families are still encouraged to apply for free and reduced-price meals if they are within the income guidelines, as that may qualify students for other fee reductions or programs, and will generate additional revenue for the school district.
To see if you qualify, complete the form and return it to the Business Manager. (CLICK HERE FOR FORM)    This application must be completed annually.

SNACK CART:  Due to changes in the food service program, snack cart is no longer available for purchase through the school.  Elementary families are asked to provide a daily snack.  Teachers will have more information regarding the distribution of snack during the September back-to-school conferences.

ELEMENTARY MILK BREAK:  Through the MN Kindergarten Milk Program, one milk for snack break is provided for all KINDERGARTEN students at no charge.  Students in grades 1-6 will be charged $0.50 per milk if they choose to have milk with their snack.  This is approximately $86.00 for the year.  Please add money to your student's meal account if you plan on your child taking milk during snack break.  If this expense creates financial hardship for your family, there is a grant available to pay for milk during snack break.  Please contact the Business Manager, Kelly Zabel to request these funds.
