Children need healthy meals to learn. Greendale Schools offers healthy meals every school day.  Your children may qualify for free meals or reduced-price meals. 

Eligibility for Free & Reduced Priced Meals as well as the Sharing Information form must be reviewed and renewed each new school year.  If you do not receive a Notification Letter of Direct Certification within the first 2 weeks of August, you should complete an application for Free & Reduced Meals.  

If you receive a Notification Letter of Direct Certification in August, it is not necessary to complete an application but a new Sharing Information Form must be filled out every school year.  

Important facts when applying:

• Meal benefits are awarded for each school year, so any approved applications from the last school year will expire 30 school days from the start of the new school year. (October 14, 2024)
• Eligibility for Free & Reduced Priced Meals must be reviewed and renewed each new school year.  
• If you receive a letter stating you qualify for Free or Reduced priced meals you MUST fill out a new sharing information form to have school/athletic fees waived.  
• Benefits DO NOT transfer between school districts. Families new to the district must complete a new application as soon as possible. You will be responsible for paying charges accrued before submission of your current year application. Applications cannot be backdated. Please submit your application as soon as possible to avoid meal charges. 
• Families may reapply for benefits at any time during the school year. Families are especially encouraged to submit a new application if they experience a decrease in household income, become unemployed, have an increase in family size, or qualify for Food Stamps.
