School District Meals

Your children may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals! 

If you have received a NOTICE OF DIRECT CERTIFICATION letter for free meals, do not complete an application. But do let the school know if any children in your household are not listed on the NOTICE OF DIRECT CERTIFICATION letter received. 

If you have not received a notice of direct certification, please fill out an application for free or reduced-price meals. Only one application is needed per family. Even if your child was approved last year, you must fill out an application each year. If you are not sure if you qualify, fill out an application! 

To apply, please fill out an application online through your school’s website, or on the state website at www.compass.state.pa.us. If you need assistance, please call your school district.
