Why is Filing for Free and Reduced Meals Important:

Children need healthy meals to learn. Salem School District offers healthy meals every school day. Applying for Free or Reduced meals may help provide your child with nutritious meals when they are needed.

It is very important that families continue to complete the Free and Reduced Price Meal Application for each school year. Salem School District's percentage of students eligible for free or reduced lunch is used to determine the amount of various federal grants and funding. In any given year, small fluctuations in this percentage can result in tens of thousands of dollars so it is crucial that our numbers are accurate and include all families eligible for free or reduced price meals. Free and Reduced Price Meal Applications do not roll over from year to year so they do have to be filled out every school year.
