FLORENCE-CARLTON SCHOOL DISTRICT FREE AND REDUCED PRICE SCHOOL MEAL INFORMATION

There are many families in the Florence community that qualify for free or reduced price school meals, but may not be receiving this financial benefit. Not sure if you qualify, click here. Please take a moment to complete the 2023-2024 free or reduced price school meal paper application or apply online through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to find out. All meal applications are confidential and students receiving free or reduced price school meals are given the same meal as students who do not qualify for this amazing benefit. Reduced price breakfast is 30 cents and reduced price lunch is 40 cents.

Florence-Carlton School District offers healthy meals every school day. Only USDA reimbursable meals (meals that meet the USDA nutrition guidelines) qualify for the free or reduced price school meal benefit; ala-carte items, seconds and milk do not qualify as a USDA reimbursable meal. Parents are responsible for all charges, by their student, prior to the free and reduced price school meal application being processed and approved including any non USDA reimbursable meal items.

Families that complete the free and reduced price school meal application and qualify help Florence-Carlton School receive additional federal funding.  These federal dollars help fund staffing for supplemental academic programs and services that benefit all FCSD students.  Families with High School students that qualify for free or reduced price school meals may be eligible for reduced fees and/or fee waivers for national tests such as ACT/SAT/PSAT and AP exams.

PLEASE NOTE: Applications for the free or reduced price school meal program must be completed every school year. If your student was approved for free or reduced price school meals last year, your free and reduced status will automatically be renewed for the first thirty operating days of the this school year. Parents are responsible for all non-reimbursable school meals charged by their student, regardless of your students meal status. You must re-apply within those thirty days to continue receiving benefits.

Does your student eat school meals? If so, please check their meal account balance...

If your student is eating school prepared meals, there's a good chance they are putting those meals on a food service account. Please take a moment to ensure your student's account balance is in good standing. You can check your student's food service meal account balance and meal transactions through your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. To avoid a negative meal balance there is the option of setting up recurring online food service payments or making a one time payment using a credit/debit card or an electronic check.
