Public Schools will be providing meals to students enrolled in Remote
Learning at designated district locations. The
meals will be distributed twice a week on a to-go basis. Menu items
included in the meals will be ready to eat and others will be
heat-and-serve items.
Parents are
required to fill out the Remote Meal Information form for the Nutrition
Services Department to help in the distribution of meals to students.
The link to the form is at https://forms.gle/ZwzjkHVh2MNLcgFx5. Parents/guardians who fill out the Remote Meal Information agree to pick up meals at one of the following sites and times.

Meals will be handed out two days a week. On Mondays students will

meals on Wednesdays. If there is no school on Monday, meals will be
available on Tuesday and Thursday. Students on Free status will receive
all meals for free, per USDA guidelines. Students not on free status
will be charged for the meals.
The following are the meal prices for the various grades:
Reduced (all grades) $ .70
Paid Pre K – 6 $4.10
Paid 7-8 $4.30

Parents should note that the carry over period for free and reduced
meals for the 2020-2021 school year is Monday, October 14. The carry
over period is the amount of time students are allowed by USDA to remain
on the prior years’ meal status. In order to qualify for free or
reduced meals, parents must complete a new free and reduced meal
application every school year.
Students that were on free or reduced meal status during the 2019-2020
school year will revert to full paid status on Tuesday, October15 unless
a new meal application is submitted and approved based on USDA
eligibility guidelines.
The online Free and Reduced Price Meal Application is available for the 2020-2021 school year and can be accessed at https://frapps.horizonsolana.com/welcome.
Paper applications are available at the Educational Support Center at
1205 Fleming, but the online application is more accurate and efficient
in applying for Free or Reduced Priced Meals.

The district is asking parents to update their contact information with
the schools. The district needs this contact information so buildings
can contact families on any updates as we progress through the school
year.
