We  encourage anyone not directly certified who believes they may qualify for free meals to complete an application.   Applications can be found on the link below under FREE And REDUCED MEAL APPLICATIONS. 

Meals payments or ala carte purchases may be made directly to the school as checks made out to Region 7 Food Service or CASH in an envelope marked FOOD SERVICE with the child's name, child's student ID  and POSID Lunch ID number.  Parents may also go to MYSCHOOLBUCKS to access or set up an account for your student at the following link: https://www.myschoolbucks.com

 Please complete a Free & Reduced Meal Application if you believe you qualify.

Why should I complete an application?

If you feel you qualify, it is critical that households submit a free and reduced-priced meal application as soon as possible to determine a student’s eligibility for this school year and avoid unpaid meal charges . Also, students who qualify for Free & Reduced Meals may be eligible for other benefits throughout the school year unrelated to food service.

Free & Reduced Meal Applications can be found on the school website by clicking on the following link: 

Free and Reduced Lunch Application 

To request a paper copy of the application, please email Debra Sugerak at  dsugerak@nwr7.org.

Questions related to School Meals may be directed to Becky Tyrrell, Food Service Director at EdAdvance at Tyrrell@EdAdvance.org or 860-567-0863 ext. 1148.
