Free & Reduced Meal Applications Parents

We are almost to the end of the month! If your student qualified for free or reduced-price meals last year, you must reapply for the current school year if you have not already done so. Applications are available online through ASPIRE. Follow the link on the school website, log in to ASPIRE, and complete the application.

Paying For School Meals

Meal accounts can be funded by cash, check, or online payment. Please keep in mind that online payments can take up to 8 business days to process and appear in ASPIRE. If your student's account is already negative, please use cash or check rather than an online payment to avoid additional delays.

Checking Your Balance

The meal account balance shown in ASPIRE is the most accurate balance. Please use the ASPIRE balance when determining how much is owed rather than balances shown through other payment systems.
